1984 - George Orwell


Pretty good so far, very descriptive.

im reading this its kinf of like the HBO SERIES ROME

THERE IS A SHE-WOLF IN THE SHADOWS…


It is 44BC and the rival clans of Rome are driving the Republic towards a violent, blood-soaked end. The jealous Claudians covet the power of the Julians, who are kings in all but name.


A tiny infant utters the prophecy of a goddess. If the darkly beautiful thirteen year old Livia Drusilla marries her bastard cousin, eleven year old Tiberius Nero, four great kings of Rome will spring from her womb. Four great Claudian kings…


Livia and her child groom begin their star-crossed marriage, but scheming Livia has dangerous ideas. She believes herself greater than the gods, and she doubts the interpretation of the prophecy.


When Julius Caesar is murdered the fortunes of the Claudians take a sudden, deadly turn. The great patricians become paupers, and Livia and her husband must flee Rome or face being killed as criminals.


But Rome falls under the spell of Caesar's golden-haired nephew, Octavian. The youthful dictator in the making offers Livia and her boy husband forgiveness. Yet Livia sees more than the promise of mere forgiveness in Rome's most desired new man. She sees Octavian as the true sire for her prophesised kings. And she sees her own chance for power…


So begins a murderous tale of sex, corruption and obsession as Livia pursues her great destiny.


No crime is too shocking. No sin is too low. No evil is beyond her grasp.


Narrated by the 100 year old slave, Iphicles, and set in a time where no woman could hope to wield power, Den Of Wolves brings life to the legendary women behind the legendary men. With ambition, beauty and cunning as their weapons, the women of Rome are history's unsung survivors. Unsung until now…

I read that book this year. I had to take my time and actually remember previous events.

But now I'm reading, Rich Dad, Poor Dad which i started yesterday and i should finish by today & I'm starting Life of Pi next week.

What did you think of Rich Dad, Poor Dad? I finished it recently after a friend's recommendation but I find some of the "mind over money" methods are a bit outlandish and unrealistic

Yeah, someone recommended it to me as well.
and i thought the same, like he had some parts we're with some luck could happen but there were parts in there that were just out of there and him saying that at the time that there needed to be changed, he wrote the book 10 years ago, so somethings might be outdated a bit.


Well, i still haven't started Life of Pi
but I'm going to start Life of Pi and To Kill A Mockingbird hopefully this week.
