New Book and Holodomor

I bought a new book, World Facts, general editor: Dr. James Mackay. I love educational books but I prefer ones with illustrations so this one really caught my eye. I got interested in the book because a man in his late 40's or early 50's was holding the book and he was chatting with his friend about how interesting the book is. I also got interested and waited until they leave the bookstore so that I can also have a glimpse of the book. Fortunately they didn't buy the orange covered book. :) so I had my chance to browse through. World facts interest me and there are so many things to learn.

Even after graduation, I constantly buy books to enrich my knowledge. There are just too many amusing things that happened in this world. I never liked history in high school or college but I see its importance now. If only I'm this interested in the world, maybe I would have enjoyed it earlier.

This interest in me is growing more and more. It even brought me to learn more about holodomor. This is a Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE". You can try searching the Internet for additional information about the event in Ukraine and maybe you can also help yourself in learning more about what happened in the past as this may affect our "today".
