It's a disgrace we are not loyal friends of books...To me book is the best friend which keeps me away from sinking into absurd depths and toss me into great heights which can only be fantasised by being a vivid reader or beholder of fantastic arts...What kind of books you fancy reading? I still indulge in the reminisce of reading Kafka and Tolkien works...Reading fantasy books have bestowed upon me the richest moments of life

Let us get metaphysical by floating in unfathomable ocean of human imagination...There is a stirring in my heart which keeps me loathing to live in reality and more drifted into surrealism

Hi Guys!
How's everything going?
recently I read a very beautiful and fascinating book.
it's about Iranian society ... no no .. don't think like that .. it's not that kind of books which just talk about cliche issues about Iran like 2009 election, women rights,Islamic extremist ,.. it's about our society!
The authors,Serge Michel and Paolo Woods, have spent some years in Iran for the french magazine,Le Monde, and they decided to try to write a book about happiness in Iran.
anyway, no matter what kind of political,social,religion views you have, I recommend this book. it gives a good aspect of our society!
the authors called the society "The Empir Of Appearances" and the book starts with the Oscar Wilde quotation :
It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearences.
the true mystery of the world is the visible not the invisible.
BTW- this book is originally written in French and has been translated and published in Persian by anonymous group under the permission of the authors and publication so you can download and read this book freely without feeling guilty from its official web site:

I just finished "The Hobbit" and such a thrilling tale it is! I am facing difficulties in finding some novels to read, after all for a vivid Tolkien reader, middle earth is where he never wants to forsake

What are you reading currently if any?

Hi all,l
I've just finished reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley ... A Gothic novel of about 200 pages .. Mary wrote it at the age of 18. Lord Byron, Percy Shelley and Mary started reading German ghost stories and shortly after, Lord Byron suggested that they each write their own supernatural story. Mary had the idea of Frankenstein in a dream which was a scene of creating a kinda human being by a scientist.l
The story deals with the idea of creation and the sufferings of the "creator" and the "created". This creation ruins Victor's life; the scientist. The solitude which the monster experiences resembles Adam's except for that the monster has no Eve to be with. Asking Victor to create a female creature for him, he promises to leave Victor and other human beings afterwards. Since Victor refuses, the monster starts killing all his family and does harm to other human beings too.l
I sympathized (and empathized as well) with the monster for his loneliness and misery. His feelings were truly similar to human beings who are doomed to live on the earth. I do recommend it for these long gloomy winter nights .. l

I also read the play "Ivanov" by Chekhov. The story of a lost and desperate man and the people around him who misunderstand his deeds. A modernized version of the play is on the stage at Iran-Shahr Theater. Written and directed by Amir Reza kouhestani, starring Mohammad Hasan Ma'jouni, Fariba Kamran, Negar Javaherian, it is on the stage till the end of Aban, I do recommend it too. l

I finished reading a post modern detective/mystery work by Paul Auster. City of Glass is not a classic detective story to uncover a crime. It deals with the language mysteries and with the protagonist (Quinne) who is lost and finds himself through the novel. I did enjoy reading it for the language is simple and persuasive as well. It's the first novel of the New York Trilogy by Auster.

Now, I'm trying to finish this Jane Eyre of Bronte. A very detailed and descriptive novel with a happy ending . l

Well, I didn't find a better topic to disclose my frenzy of learning more about evolution, mind theory and astrobiology... these are the areas I'd like to plunge deeper into

Grasping how life came to be and evolved and also hypothesising how it will be terminated is a milestone in human history of seeking knowledge...There is a long way remained to be able to fully manipulate the machine of the universe, but that day will come surely

I guess you are interested in astrophysics, I am currently reading a book titled "The Universe Before the Big Bang". It's a great book for laymen without going into mathematical complexity (I can email it to you if you will)...BTW, I am curious to know whether you can introduce me some fascinating books in this field

Yea, in the early years of my high school I was crazy about physics and its branches(Astrophysics,Quantum,particles,...) and I used to read a lot of articles about it.but as the time approached I lost my interest in these areas but I still sometime read about these matters and I'd be happy to share our knowledge.
I just have read Stephene Hawking's famous books and some articles that unfortunately I don't have them right now
