So today I continued reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Tomorrow I will finish it. I'm really starting to like that story. After a somewhat difficult period it has awakened my love of reading. Also yesterday I found a modern translation of Augustine's Confessions that is not full of thou's and dost's, in other words something I would actually be able to read. So I yesterday I began reading. It's going to be one of those slow readings because I will only read a bit everyday. So I have no idea how long it will take to finish it but already I'm enjoying it. It's funny how learning about history makes you realize not how different people were back then but how similar. Right at the very first book Augustine rants about the education of his time. I suppose it is a timeless problem but I was still surprised to see that.
