Reading a book
- Thread starter Sebastian
- Start date
I'm currently reading a lot to prepare for some uni tests next month. Not mandatory stuff, but more like brushing up on my knowledge and delving deeper into the bowels of history. Mixing fun with efficiency. As of now, my couch is covered in a stack of books that deal with Middle Agean society and feudalism. A few that address the rise of humanism in the Netherlands (Erasmus, Spinoza etc etc), an extensive history of the Netherlands from 5000 bc to date, a small booklet that shortly deals with the "columnisation" of Holland in the 20's and 30's, an interesting book about the henchmen of Hitler and the main "bosses" of the Third Reich. I've got a good book on Eastern civilizations that I kinda need to finish, although it's not really a book that you "finish".
I don't read much fiction, although Tolkien books I eat like hot cakes. I need to read Dune as well, got that one in my bookcase. Recently re-read Engelandvaarders, excellent Dutch WW2 novel.
Usually I just read the comics from the newspapers, though.

Still papers, books, whatever, if you do it for school or uni I don't think it belongs here. I'm stubborn. 
Like I said, it's a small part personal preperation for an important but dirt easy test I have to take soon, and large part personal interest. I can lay all those works away tomorrow and still pass that test with flying colours. I'd be surprised if even 0.000000045% of what I read in them will come back in that test, so....
Go away
I'm an intellectual.
