"The Adventures of Ibn Battuta:  A Muslim traveler from the 14th century"-by Ross E. Dunn-     Based on the recorded history of 14th century world traveler Ibn Batutta.  It puts me back in the 14th century when Islam was politically dominant in the world.  Back in these times even the non-Muslim regions that Ibn Battuta travels to used to copy the Islamic culture.


"A People's History of the United States"  by Howard Zinn-   This is the true history of the United States, not the government's history that you find in textbooks.   It's the "discovery of America from the viewpoint of the Arawaks, of the Constitution from the standpoint of the slaves, of Andrew Jackson as seen by the Cherokees"... and on and on till present day.

It's sad but true. Reading is a novelty. Windheven was the last book I read(February) It's tight. I have been trying to start Catch 22 but I find it boring.

That book is leftist garbage.

If your views are "right", then we want to be as far left as possible, and to stay left.

[Lincoln]

Nelson Mandela's autobiography, but I've only been reading it from time to time.

I just finished a Canadian novel called "The Luck Of Ginger Coffey" for school.

Also for school a novel called "Fifth Business"

And soon in the mail I'll have Jamil Al Amin's 2 books.

Multiple horror books written by Bentley Little. Most of them have titles like The Store. His stories make seemingly normal places and things seem sinister and demonic. Stories are quite entertaining and right up there with horror legends like Stephen King.

" A People's History of the U.S."  is a very biased book written by the view point of a communist, or so ive heared, could be interesting.
