Re: What are you reading?

I red Room was indeed a good book but not easy to digest at first.
Lovely at the ending - like they bring you full circle.
I was actually feeling wuite homesick for Jack but liked the way he ended everything.

Ma on the other hand was a moron - how in the universe did she risk him like that?

I’m reading an e-book by Enver Masud called ‘War on Islam’, I’m still in the beginning, but it’s already fascinating. Here is a link if anyone is interested:

Previously I had read ‘9/11 Unveiled’, also by Masud which sums up much of the evidence which is available in various documentaries amongst other sources that the public was never officialy told what really happened that day. Interesting and eye-opening read (if anyone wants to watch documentaries on this topic, there are various different vids with much interesting info available on YouTube, including info discussed in this e-book). Here is a link of this e-book:

Have you heard about the Dutch author Kader Abdolah? His work ‘The Hous of the Mosque’ is worth reading. It’s also in the same time period and beyond. Amazing fiction. It tells the story of a family during that time whose inner relationships change during and after the revolution. There is so much more though in the story. It’s definitely worth your time. :slight_smile:

Last night I finished reading ‘Naming Infinity’ by Loren Graham and Jean-Michel Kantor. The personal stories behind the mathematicians are touching and surprising. Maths was never so interesting before. Religious ideas (Name Worshipping) inspired some of the charactesr in that book to amazing results.

One of the greatest Dutch writers ever, Lodewijk van Deyssel, wrote some of the most beautiful proze I have ever read. His book ‘Uit het leven van Frank Rozelaar’ is available online:
