It's from 2004, so yeah, kinda modern.

Basically, stuff happens in the ocean and wild sea creatures start to behave weirdly all across the globe and something's not right.
It's a thriller and all things considered light reading.

Sure thing. Next up on my list is "roadside picnic".
Before that I read Solaris by Stanislaw Lem, which I found really interesting. I really need to define my tastes in literature more. I also should get into the classics. As of right now my tastes are all over the place. I have read a lot of Jack Kerouac and Hunter S Thompson in the past two years

And also a sociology book about hiking by David Le Breton

And after this I'll read Metro 2035 (I bought it a while ago but I never read it :c also I'll need to re-read 2033 and 2034 before)

I'm currently reading Skin Game, it's book 15 of the Dresden Files, a sort of urban fantasy epic, I could not recommend it enough to everyone, it crosses genre boundaries so much it's hard to find someone who doesn't at least enjoy the series.

On top of that, for nonfiction I'm reading The Perfect Heresy, a sort of popular history telling of the story of the Cathar heresy, from start to finish.

Well, I'm interested in all kinds of stuff. Mostly books on history and various novels from the XVIII-XX centuries. A bit of philosophy too, but that can be heavy.
>>5378454
War and Peace isn't that hard of a read, the only thing that can stop you is its length. If you really want to get into Russian literature, and you aren't afraid of cultural boundaries, I strongly recommend Dostoyevskiy.

Fuck yeah, dude thanks for the literature advice. I'm really interested in Russian/Eastern euro literature. Since my own mother grew up in Ukraine during the Soviet Union around 1970-1990. I would be interested in studying literature from around Russia would help get a good grasp on mentality and how ideology became such a huge concern during the 20th century. Literature in NA is lackluster at best, so I wouldn't mind getting older era literature for a context of the how the history of the 20th century affected Europe.

Karl Marx is basically the equivalent of a forum poster who gets absolutely obsessed with arguing with petty assholes who will only be forgotten. Half of his works are basically him screeching incoherently at fucking anyone he disagrees with that he happens to see, in fact some of these people are only notable because Marx made some 13 page pamphlet shitting on them.

Das Kapital is pretty good though, it's probably his best late work.

Books are really different from movies, like a book has way more details and let you imagine the scenes, the characters and everything, but you can be way more into a movie since it already has images, sounds and characters talking.
It's not the same way to appreciate art imo

that's a good idea ^^

Sometimes the movie kinda ruin your perception of the book imo
For example I had a totally different version of Ron in my head when I read HP, and when I saw the movie I was like "wow Ron didn't look like that at all in my head" But now that I've seen the movies, if I re-read the book, I'll have the movie-run stuck in my head forever.
So basically I think it's always better to read the book first

If you want to see the perception of the revolution by an intellectual of the Russian Empire you should definitely check out Bulgakov. Basically, all of his works are a unique mix of philosophy and criticism of the Soviet Union. Master and Margarita might seem a bit weird for somebody who didn't grow up in a post-Soviet country though.

My case with One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. I just couldn't watch the movie after the book, despite all the praise it got. That's not how I pictured most of the characters.

As far as I know, Cathars did get a lot of stuff right. The way Papacy handled them only reinforces the point. Its hard to blame the author for being biased.

Recombinant proteins production (R P) is one of the most important contributions of modern biotechnology. The most important bacterial host for RP production is Escherichia coli, although B acillus subtilis and Bacillus megaterium are also gaining importance. Due to its economical relevance and impact on human health, the present review is foc used on the production of RP in E. coli. General aspects of vector design, strains election as well as cultivation and downstream processing are covered. Particularly, the opportunities to improve cultivation schemes and downstream through metabolic engineering are discussed.
