gimme some sites where you can download books for free, searched internet but everything is torrents (don't use em) and Kindle shit. also if you can find one about any Boris Akunin novel it would be appreciated :~>
from the list of obvious choices when it comes to "touching movies" there is a clear lack of forrest gump. just sayin
you can buy "a song of ice and fire" book 1-4 brand new for 20€ and you dont even play shipping costs as books are subsidized
I mean he wrote 2 awesome books and some okish ones and is prolly a pretty useless tip cause everyone knows him (yo man you heard of harry potter?).
Anyways his stuff is roughly based on facts (he was really anal about timings and distances in his illuminati thingy) but all the plot and connections are COMPLETELY made up. you can not and should not try to learn about history and facts from fiction :)
I usually get a bit nerdy sometimes while I read books, so I tend to google a lot. I have to disagree that the "plot and connections are COMPLETELY made up". To give some proof of examples of true history and facts, Galelio was indeed involved with the alumbrados illuminati. Dan Brown even mentions some interesting facts about the cardinals having age restrictions to be able to be elected as pope.
These things sure do count as history/facts. But I understand your point with fiction, not everything is necessarily true which is its definition. However again, there can be twists to it.
Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code.
The next best would have to be Deception Point and then Digital Fortress while the latest one, The Lost Symbol, just sort of bored me.
its always about some powerful underground institution is about to pwn the world. its always about puzzles and that sort of thing
but there is so much good stuff out there that can only be delivered in form (/length, depth, descriptveness, ...) if a book.
if you drive a lot/long distances id rly recommend listening to audiobooks! such a great way of enjyoing literature in otherwise lost time.
Good one!
