I love reading books and going deep into them. I not only like reading books, I also love taking detailed notes of them. For instance, when I am reading Fantasy books, I like making notes of the following. - What is the structure of this society ? - How many religions are there ? - What is the politics of this world ? - Is there social mobility in this society ? - What is the scale of the story (city, country, continent, planet, universe, multiverse) ?
And so much more. I also like analysing the characters. I also like asking similar questions before embarking on a biography. - What were this person's main influences ? - What were this person's main challenges ? - What were this person's main ethical dillemas and how did they choose ? - What were this person's gifts ? - What is similar and unsimilar about this person from me ? I have a lot more too. I would like someone to read books with and go in depth on discussion of books. Here are the last few books I read -
Fantasy - Will Wight's cradle series - Brandon Sanderson' Ellantris - The Hand of the Sun King
Biographies - Meghnad Saha
Historical Fiction and Romance - What the Wind Knows (Truly marvellous book)
Self Help - How to read a book - The Programmer's Mind
Popular Science - Essays by Donald Knuth - Stories of Maxima and Minima
I suppose I am more in a mood to read books on popular science that would help us both learn a lot.
