For the 5 books of "A song of Ice and Fire" and "Brief interviews" I have the pdf versions, so if you want to give it a try without draining your wallet let me know xD
Two of my best reads -
1. The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
2. Cloud Street by Tim Winton (a challenging read given its style of writing but well worth the effort)
Paul Kelly - How to make Gravy
If you like his music youll enjoy the stories behind them
Just finished reading "Pirate Coast" by Richard Zacks.
It is a factual account of The U.S.'s first covert operation on foreign soil during which the U.S. flag was raised on foreign soil for the first time.
It is also when the U.S. Marines started to be known as a force to be reckoned with.
It is also "History" that is not taught in schools. Most history that is taught in schools is concocted fiction that has nothing to do with the way the world was formed.
Just "Dumbing Down" of the next generations.
Just started reading "In The Shadow of the Sword" by Tom Holland which is about "The battle for global empire and the end of the ancient world."
This book written by an historian and therefore requiring bibliography, also has a glossary.
It explores the origin of Islam and by default must also explore the origins of the other monotheistic religions of Judeasim and Christianity ( the three of which believe in the God of Abraham ), but must also explore what went before them such as the Persian Empire and the Zoroastrians to make it a valid documentation.
Certainly a lot deeper read than Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" which hardly rates better than the novels by Stephen King or J.K. Rowling.
For those that think this is a bit "high highfalutin" for entertaining reading, I suggest you buy the book for your children so they may read some REAL history instead of the lies they are fed at school and realise the threat Islam poses to the way of life they currently enjoy.
Mapping Human History: Genes, Race and our Common Origins.
Steve Olson traces the origins of modern humans and patterns of migration over 150,000 years. Interesting reading. A heap of end notes.
If you're into eBooks then this may excite for a few dollars.
