Steve Jobs autobiography is worth a read

find the hitler/concentration camp era very interesting, but we did WW1 in history at school for nearly 3 years so i do know quite a bit about itcitiblue375 said:BlueTG said:Picked up a few books about the war recently so I'm interested in that at the moment, fact more so than fiction, crime, started reading a lot more in spare time at uni and found a good couple of book stores with a great range.HorshamBlue said:Lots I could recommend, but what are your interests (fact, fiction, genre)?
I am suspecting you mean WW11 rather than WW1 but 'All Quiet on the Western Front' is one of the best books on war ever written.......it is a novel but written by a WW1 veteran.
Sorry to inform you but that book doesn't exist, sadly. I'd read it if it did. Have you read any stuff on folklore.org? I've spent many an hour there.Jackson-ctid said:Steve Jobs autobiography is worth a read
God is more unlikely than a multiverse. Why? Because I said so. Also, religion causes harm in the world.BlueTG said:used some of his ideas from this book in sociology, could you sum up what its main gist is? we never looked at this in huge detail
'All Quiet on the Western Front' is indeed one of the best books on war ever written. It was written by a German just after the war. I've seen the film also - a really old one made in the 20's or early 30's I believe - and rereading the book several years later (I'd read it for school previously) made me physically retch with some of the descriptions as I remembered back to the film and real footage of WWI.BlueTG said:find the hitler/concentration camp era very interesting, but we did WW1 in history at school for nearly 3 years so i do know quite a bit about itcitiblue375 said:BlueTG said:Picked up a few books about the war recently so I'm interested in that at the moment, fact more so than fiction, crime, started reading a lot more in spare time at uni and found a good couple of book stores with a great range.
