What are you reading?

[Dizaster]

Mails in, Thing just past me a package from an old mate up in Qld,looks like Im reading the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho next .

Do let us know if you manage to put any of the theories into successful practise.

I've often thought about the benefits of taking up Alchemy for a hobby to see if I can make the big breakthrough in it,, but I figure many more people, much more intelligent than me have probably experimented their whole lives and not managed to succeed...

I'm sometimes amazed at myself that History and past human experience and stuff were some of my most hated subjects in High School.. Like, why would I want to know about some old grogen's life and experience, or what Sumerians used to eat off... Now I can't get enough of that stuff...

There is just so much wealth in reading books like that, you get a thrill pouring that type of knowledge into your head that some brilliant person at one stage needed to use all their entire brilliant mind to come up with, and you can just pick up a book now and learn of these huge epiphanies in one sitting...


I can't believe that there are still people out there that laugh and are like "what, I don't read books.. Who reads books?".. I don't know many of them, but occassionally you'll come across people that just don't read them.... It's like, how the hell do you learn anything outside you're own life and what television tells you..? You just miss so much by never picking up a book.
