Books, GGS

Books have always fascinated me. Since we were kids, everybody told us we should always read, since books educate you. I suppose back then I didn’t quite understand how they educate us. I read because it was a diversion for me.
I just finished a book by Jared Diamond. Guns, Germs and Steel captured my heart so easily and made me fall in love with books again. Besides the answers about human history questions, it provided me with general knowledge about geography and history. When I was younger, I used to be a geography and history freak, teaching myself what the important dates and places are. But somehow, I always forgot that knowledge. But wit this book, there’s no way I’ll forget… just because those names and dates became a part of my understanding of the concept of the book. So I had no choice: either to memorize that info by chance, or end the book without getting its core message. I must’ve done the first. Yay for me!! Now it’s moving to another target.
