@ Justina. An interesting read.

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

Personal favorite is anything from Cormac McCarthy, The Road, All the Pretty Horses, or No Country for Old Men. Not recommended for readers who want a happy ending. A bit preachy from time to time, but other then that, all his works are a great analysis of human behavior and the cruelty we often show to one another.

I don't really read novels, I like to read books about philosophy, religions, essays aso.

This book had the biggest influence on me and my way to see the world: Freedom from the Known by Krishnamurti.
Most of his books give us many clues on why we act or feel like we do. And why we are often mistaken by society-build concepts. They help us have another point of view on life and ourselves.

I am halfway through "Wicked"
Which the broadway musical is loosely based on. THEY ARE NOTHING ALIKE, not really.



So, if you are a fan of the musical thinking "WOW, the book should be AWESOME."  No.

Ok you have all seen the TV series  now read the  books



Game of thrones, its a great read though long  seven novels of 800 + pages, it tells a more complete story than the  TV series  ands is difficult to put down.  If you like medieval dramas  with some sex violence and magic thrown in  check them out. There is the usual  knights, goodies  baddies  and a whole gamut of characters all well developed  and fleshed out.



Seriously if you liked the TV series  you LOVE the books

Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad
by William Craig

Stalingrad, the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, cost the lives of nearly two million men and women. It signaled the beginning of the end for the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler; it foretold the Russian juggernaut that would destroy Berlin and make the Soviet Union a superpower. As Winston Churchill characterized the result of the conflict at Stalingrad: " the hinge of fate had turned."

William Craig, author and historian, has painstakingly recreated the details of this great battle: from the hot summer of August 1942, when the German armies smashed their way across southern Russia toward the Volga River, through the struggle for Stalingrad-a city Hitler had never meant to capture and Stalin never meant to defend-on to the destruction of the supposedly invincible German Sixth Army and the terror of the Russian prison camps in frozen Siberia. Craig has interviewed hundreds of survivors of the battle-both Russian and German soldiers and civilians-and has woven their incredible experiences into the fabric of hitherto unknown documents. The resulting mosaic is epic in scope, and the human tragedy that unfolds is awesome.

This is a great read, told from both German and Russian Eye witness accounts. the book reads more like a novel than a history book and even people who don't like war stories will find this hard to put down.
