The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice.
- Following the Equator

that is what Mark Twain said on historical accounts and we all know it is true. the things we read in history books as happened didn't happen that way exactly and the chain of events and influences were surely much more complex too. We can't even know all the angles of current news, let alone history and analysing it's cause and effect. hehehe

Anyways, Mark Twain... yes. his books are awesome. i also read some by Jack London, Frederick Forsyth, Daniel Defoe, jules Verne, r l Stevenson, Jonathan swift, Rudyard Kipling, Edgar Allan Poe, Lewis Carroll, h g Wells, Tonni Morrison etc.

one very important mention here.

i read English translations of Arkady Gaidar books. such awesome stories with impressive dreamscape like pictures.
