I love reading books and I read at least one book per week. The main two reasons that I like reading books are that I can escape to another reality and that I learn much about the world (and life) from books.

A store selling uk books is Borders.co.uk. They have a huge selection of books, DVDs and CDs in their online store.
They stock some of my all time favorite books. One of them is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. It is a very chilling story about a futuristic world where the state controls everything. It was meant by George Orwell as a warning about how the socialistic / communist states in his time could transform themselves into controlling dictatorships. As he was partaking in the Spanish civil war he could see first hand how parts of the socialistic revolutionaries turned totalitarian when they had the opportunity.
Today the book can be seen on as a warning what will happen if we let our governments run wild with measures to control “terrorism”. It looks like we might be heading into a 1984 society.

Another great book that Borders.co.uk sells is Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It is a brilliant cartoon about her growing up in Tehran in Iran. It really give you an insight how life was (and is) in Iran. The cartoon was an eye opener for me and I recommend it for everyone.
