I LOVE BOOKS!
I will probably never go for the audible or e-reader versions; i want to hold the book in my hands and not be dependent on a signal to do so
books are 'magical'. to get immersed in them and lose yourself for just a bit of time in the pages is, to me, a great experience.
fortunately, our son shares the same feelings while at the same time, he his also knee deep in the digital world
<he wants to be a bio-medical engineer. work on designing new implants, robotic limbs, etc..so i thought he would have given up on print media a long time ago. nope.>
and
if you haven't already figured it out, i really like our group of ppl here. i like to know more about everyone, i know some are gamers, i know some of your professions, all based on what you have shared
to know,and to be cognizant of these things while posting, these things, i think, makes the whole forum experience deeper and more enjoyable
so, if you'd like to share, i am interested to know what you are readin or have recently read?
maybe give us a bit more to talk about
if not, well then, ok:
I am currently reading a historical biography on Oliver Cromwell and the New Model Army. exciting stuff, I know!
I have just recently finished reading STAR WARS, A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW. A canon collection of short stories told in the first person about what those 'side line' characters from the original trilogy and rogue 1 may have been thinking/doing while they witness or were a part of the events in the movies
before that i read VOICES OF THE STARS. A novel on dark age Britain involving druids and other ppl all the while masking that it is actually a story of Arthur. a type of Historical (what can be gleaned from the collections of the stories on the actual historical figures) Myth and nature worship (druidic religion) all set in the frame of post roman Britain and the impending arrival of those Germanic peoples called the "saxons"
so what are you reading?
