Apart from some plays I'm reading, I'm currently invested in two books.
"Ik heb geen vijanden, ik ken geen haat." (Trans: 'I have no enemies, I know no hate'.) It's a collection of writings and poems from Nobel-prize winner Liu Xiaobo who is currently serving a sentence in prison in China for co-making the charter 08. It's one of the first non-fiction books I'm reading. It's a tough go, especially if you don't know a lot about the history of communist China. But it's interesting. While I'd never recommend going through it in one go, as it's not even made for that, I would suggest it.
Second book I'm currently reading is "Jurrassic Park". I found it in a drift-shop in Dutch a few years ago for a euro and a half and decided to pick it up. Finally started reading it. Seeing as it's a translation, my vision on the original might be askewed, but so far I'm preferring the movie. (Which is rare as it's usually the other way around.) Reading it just makes me want to see it all the more. (I didn't even know the film was based on a book.) But it is a good read and I can see why someone who read the book would've had enough faith in the story and message to turn it into a film. It's not that it's a bad book. It's just that it's a classic film.
I like mystery/suspense/legal/detective fiction, layman science, atheist, biography, humour.
