[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 7928691, member: 93702"]I read a lot of history (as many do) .. but when things get very stressful at work I try to reach for some far out stuff to read in bed to take my mind away from the trials of the day. Helps me shut down and forget the challenges - otherwise I find myself trying to solve tomorrow's problems while in bed... never a good way to try to sleep! So I love historical fiction and Sci-Fi... Sci-Fi will especially take me away from the grind and help me shut down. One of my favorites is Ilium by Dan Simmons .. second book in the series is Olympos. Incredible books that are both historical fiction and crazy Sci-Fi.. ever want to relive the Iliad - but on Mars??? The gods don't reside on Mount Olympus - but on Olympus Mons. Achilles, Odysseus, Paris, etc are all there .. its a wild ride. [U]I didn't think so either [/U]- but wow.. weird as heck - but what a masterpiece. For a great escape I highly recommend them.
