Jewel Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I'm pretty slow at reading these days. :\ Gotta read "Mrs Dalloway" till tomorrow, or at least try. I started reading it in England, but it bored me so much that I stopped. :stunned: *tries again* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

°°°Morning°Glory°°° Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 When I was younger I read sooo much...read books with 300 pages without break. Now it depends on the book. The last two weeks I read two very interesting books. But if I'm not really interested I give it up soon. Even LOTR after 50 pages :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I inhale books. Depending on your interests, I would recommend Aldus Huxley's 'Island'- more compelling and less well known than his 'Brave New World' and gives you some good ideas on how to make yourself more sane in this crazy world!

musiclover Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Wasn't Aldus Huxley one of those authors who really got enchanted with India, something similar to Emerson and Thoreau and Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namaste Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I think so... he certainly had a higher opinion of cultures that give greater weight to the mystical than the intellectual/consumerist drives of Western Culture... I think he saw the Western world a bunch of barbarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Brave New World, and I think it's the only you can find here (of him, in english - I live in Chile and we speak Spanish-) I'd never heard of that book before though. I did like BNW a lot, even though the first like 50 pages are just, to me, like there to be there, not reason at all. I mean there is, but I would like short them up and make it a bit more agreadable. The "second part", I mean after those tedious 50 pages, its awesome! It really cought me up, and well I read it quite a while ago, so I should try it again, cause is one of those books that you read them twice and they are still very very good :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musiclover Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I've read really fast when I've gotten really deep into some material...but I can't keep up with that pace, so I come down to reading all words again and that slows me down... in engineering, you can't skip much of any words :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
