Sophie's World


I have proved my self that I am a very slow reader .... I've been reading Sophie's world for more than 2 months !! and i still have 150 pages to go !! but i just can’t find time to finish it
................
It's a book about the history of philosophy ... seems all the philosophers were interpreted same ideas (soul, nature, Ideas, matters) while reading I asked my self a question like Sophie’s
.............

"And men seem to live in a world of their own. I am more interested in the real world, where there are flowers and animals and children that are both born and grow up. Your philosophers are always talking about "man" and "humans", and now here's another treatise on "human nature." It's as if this "human" is a middle-aged man. I mean, life begins with pregnancy and birth, and I've heard nothing about diapers or crying babies so far. And hardly anything about love and friendship" page - 223
.............

It is very interesting yet boring at some points! Don’t ask me how. I recognized Descartes immediately since we studied some of his work during high school and his famous quote "I think, therefore I am" and for sure the sophist.... they r interesting :D
the last pages i reached a week ago (page - 239) made my mind spin that’s why i left the book and said to my self read when u r fully awake ....
..........

3 people suggested this book at the same period of time and i have to say it is worthy...

I started reading this book almost a month ago; I am finding so many difficulties finishing it. I have interruptions at work when I set to read and at home I feel sleepy and not interested in reading elmohem I managed to reach chapter 104 page 463 …..
.
It attracts you to not let it go and keep reading as much as your head can stand …..
It’s all about an ancient group of scientists called them selves the (Illuminati) created long time ago to defeat the church (whom they say had been always against science) and revived again to finish it’s job by destroying the Roman city (Vatican)
.
What made me anxious to finish the story is that the killer to be an Arabic Muslim (yaa far7etna) and he is been shown in a very ugly way!! read this !!!!
.
Quotes from the book
T he woman’s hands were tied, her wrists now purple and swollen from chafing. The mahogany-skinned Hassassin lay beside her, spent, admiring his naked prize. He wondered if her current slumber was just a deception, a pathetic attempt to avoid further service to him.
He did not care. He had reaped sufficient reward. Sated, he sat up in bed. In his country women were possessions. Weak. Tools of pleasure. Chattel to be traded like livestock. And they understood their place. But here, in Europe, women feigned a strength and independence that both amused and excited him. page 85-86

*
“Your final hour,” he said aloud, picturing the thousands of Muslims slaughtered during the Crusades. “At midnight you will meet your God.” page 432
.
How today’s first attackers and terrorist r to be Muslims without even thinking ….. Am I being Slapdash here? ok I haven’t finished the book yet so if u did plz don’t tell me the end
