BTW @Kargai, do you recommend any good/complete/neutral book about  the french revolution?

Sorry for the late answer, the tagging seem not to have worked on this one :)

I would recommend you "Ancien Regime and the Revolution" by Alexis de Tocqueville. It's the one teachers usually recommend in school especially because of the objective point of view. Don't know if it's true or not but the author was born right after the Revolution and digg a lot in the archives (so he was not for one side or another, all was already finished)

-----------------------------------

On my side, just finished the second (and last) part of the story of Miyamoto Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa.

It was a long read (1500+ pages) but definitely worth it for those who like feudal Japan, zen & co.

When i'm packed with work I tend to read easy stuff just to escape a little, so just finished the 2 volumes of "Die Rache der Zwerge" by Markus Heitz (but in french, not in german).

The books are called The Revenge of the Dwarves in english.

Had already read his 4 previous books of the serie before those 2 so i'm continuing the story of Tungdil Golden Hands. Not the best heroic-fantasy book I ever read but it's fun enough and easy to read when you are tired and not available to read some psychological or philosophical stuff ^^

My favorite too. I have read all Dan Brown's books. It's very interesting and I really like how he connect things throughout his story.

Hehehh not boring but, believe it or not, we are human beings with some spare time during the day so we can actually read a book or two from time to time. :P 😀

Just finished A Critique of the New Commonplaces by Jacques Ellul, a french philosopher and sociologist who also he authored 58 books and more than a thousand articles over his lifetime, many of which discussed propaganda, the impact of technology on society, and the interaction between religion and politics.
