Nobody dared to post...

LOL. I guess I'll start a topic. Nobody dared to post a non-fiction book topic. I'm not sure if I'd have something to say, either. I am more of a fiction-lover. But, I love reading Psychology books. Those that talk about behavior & the nervous system. Like learning about the difference of what happens when your Broca's Area is damaged & if it's the Wernicke's Area.

I have a fascination on these subject, all because of Edward Cullen. From what I remember, the Wernicke's Area is for language skills. Talking about nonsense. Incoherency (very much like me whenever I think of Edward). Or you know what youwant to say, but it comes out differently or just a bunch of grunts & garbled words.

For Broca's Area is the inability to speak properly, or the inability to produce any words or phrases (that is also me whenever I think of Edward. I can't speak properly). It may also mean the inability to understand an action or a word. Hmmm... more like misinterpretation amplified.

I lose all train of thought & I forget how to speak. All because of Edward Cullen.

I love history books. My favorites are probably 1776 by David McCollough (i KNOW i spelled that wrong) and the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx. SOOOOOO interesting.

Oooh, Karl Marx. I'm intrigued & I'll probably read about him next. And Immanuel Kant.

Communism has its good points i guess... but its better on paper than it is in practice. but the Communist Manifesto is something that should be read lol.

And I'd learn about what it's really like in North Korea. That's interesting. Lemme write that down. OOooooohhh.... I'm excited.

I find psychology fascinating, especially psychological disorders. I'm reading about DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). I find it amazing. xD

I love reading books about Austria. I seriously am in love with that country. xD It's one of my goals to visit someday, and possible live there. Who knows? 8D It's gorgeous, and I love it to bits.

Austria, where the Trapp Family singers are from.

Re, a drop of golden Midnight Sun!!!

Keep reading Psych stuff RaiRai! I have to promote psychology because it is famazing and fawesomely interesting.

Most of my non fiction reading is for my course, so I read a LOT of science journals. Like an insane amount. And biochem textbooks.

I love reading the newest neurosci journals now. Just to see the advances and stuff. Yeah I'm a science geek

Ah, non-fiction. I love history books. I mean really love them. I would major in history if I could make any money at it.

hey now! lol. its true though i guess lol. thats why i wanna go to law school when i graduate.

Thats totally why I didn't major in history. I took it all the way through school and college but I couldn't see a career out of it. Plus when I was doing my A levels, I got my head of year as a history teacher and this guy personally hated me and the feeling was MORE than mutual. Sitting in his class used to make me physically nauseous. So I had to quit it early.
Glad I did though because science is my true calling. I totally see that now and I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life. Even though I know that research scientists make NO money whatsoever. I'm gonna be living on the equivalent of $24K a year for the next 4 years. And out of that comes rent, food and travel :S

The way I figure it is you can't do something you're not passionate about when you finish your education at whatever level so I AM doing a history major and I will make money out of it just not as much as my mother would like to think I can earn... When I'm done I can be an Archivist for the government, I can publish papers, I can work in libraries, I can work in schools I can do quite alot really so I'm sticking with what I love...

Well, chemistry is a close 2nd. And chemistry is in a lot more demand, so......
