Ummm, :rolleyes: I used to love reading fictions, legends, etc, perhaps this is the general interests most booklovers share, i guess. But suddenly, things changed, pretty much, I think. I cannot bear to let my mind being conquered by others' imagination, thoughts, insights, stories, losing myself when reading, being confused by reality, and the world in the books, etc.etc.etc. Just want to have a change, for my self. So, that's it. :) hope it make some sense?

I have a nice little amazon wish list. I use it to hold ideas mostly but I do plan on buying Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon and the Baroque Cycle. All in hardcover. And I have some music on there I want, too. Gotta wait until I have some money before I can buy any of it... :(
 
I've read 1984 and Brave New World sometime ago, and they are worth reading.

I base my wish list on a bunch of authors who have a new book out at least once a year. Right now, nothing much is out so I am reading classics.

To write this book by his only means (blinking his eye) I feel he must want us to read it... I really admire him and am looking forward to reading it.
