there are some books that i cant wait to get my hands on:
1) the god delusion by richard dawkins. its about asking "is there a god?" and discusses the history of religion and preponderantly disagrees with some beliefs that god-believers possess. suitable for atheists and theists to read. still, i think just take it with a pinch of salt.. such touchy issues are best treated with an open-mind.
2)
Conservatives Without Conscience by John Dean. its about american politics - republicans & democrats. if you read the papers, next tue i believe there's some kinda election in US and i'm pretty taken aback by how highly-educated, acclaimed politicians sunk that low to attack and make somewhat groundless denunciation about the opposing party.. this article sorta sparked off an interest in this bk.
3) making globalisation work by nobel prize winner Joseph sth (economist!).. again, you can find his featured article on the papers.
basically that's abt all...... NEWSFLASH: they are all unavailable in NLB yet. though i think you may find them in bookstores............. S H I T.
oh man. hope can go buy my k800i later. buh-bye
