I don't know what to like more, reading good books, or having good conversations. I find the old books like Robinson Crusoe, I can still learn from. Most modern books just tell a story without any real life experiences in them, and really lose a lot of depth (at least when reading fiction). So I find a lot has been lost in writing a book. (and I'd learn much more from a forum, than from a book like that)..
Sometimes I ask myself the question if the writer of Robinson Crusoe really has been stranded on an island, for he comes up with very realistic notions, like seasons of flu, how to make clay pots, carpentry and other steels, and a lot of things which you'd probably only realize when you're really IN that kind of lifestyle (of a man stranded on an island).
Or what about Jules Verne. Even though it's not as realistic, it does have some realistic settings, like the way they make deadlines on time or not, is totally random! Not predictable,like everything goes worse, until the last moment when they triumph victoriously,like 99.9% of Hollywood movies! |
Okay, there is nothing like a good conversation ...
