I hope the topic got your attention
Since I suggested a bookworm thread, and PCA suggested I started it, I now do.
Let the discussions begin!
The first book that im going to talk about is Ayn Rand - The fountainhead. At first I found it scary, not because that it is scary, but this is a gigantic book (almost 1000 pages) and it's about architecture. But this book gets interesting after some time, when its message is introduced, and the introduction of several persons. In the beginning it's mostly about two persons.
It's a book about trusting your beliefs, doing what feels right for you, not caring what others think, told in architectural metaphors. Although i've only read 1/3 of it, I recommend it.
The second is Joseph Heller's Catch 22.
This is a satirical book about war. Yossarian is a pilot in an american militarybase in Pianosa. He's tired of missions, he dont want to risk his life anymore. After flying a certain number of missions the soldiers are allowed to go home to the US. Only problem is that the supperior keeps raising the number of missions. There is another way to get home though. If you are crazy you cant fly any missions. But catch 22 states that its very sane to lack will to going on the missions, so if you don't want any more missions, you're not insane.
This is a very entertaining book.
I'm short of time right now, I will probably edit this post later.
