Lately, I've been reading a lot FF ( Fredrick Forsyth). Now, I'm thankful to Sandeepan, Pranabesh and Amit Sharma who lent me the novels when we I was in college...
I've always had a special place for HISTORY in my areas of interest....but my knowledge had been limited to my text books that I read until my class X.
Now, when I read FF, I'm seeing history being unveiled to me with a very different perspective..Nobody told me (not even the text books) mentioned some of the very important things that happened in the history of mankind.To say in a few words,
"No body had put history to me in that way"..
Though the plot of the stories is mostly good..the incidents of history that are described take me to a different level...
Now that I know something, I feel it is important for me to read more and know more history...may be pass it on to others too.....
