heavy-duty reading


am currently reading Steve Coll's acclaimed book titled "Ghost Wars: The Secret history of CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001". for someone who is a self-proclaimed history-phobic, i found this book very engaging. the thickness of it was quite intimidating at first. but then the contents pull me right in. so now, every night i'll read at least 2-3 chapters and stop around 1am as the next day i have to come early to lab. can't afford to do labworks in a sleepy state. this is one history book i'll vouch for. although as histories go, there always never be a happy ending...indeed.
