Our BookShelf..

I'm currently reading a book and it I felt really close and personal. The title of the book is "Alexander Adalah Zulqarnain". Obviously, that's my name.. but facts that suggest 'Alexander' is not the same 'Zulkarnain Qurani' really disturbs me.. I've read about 30% of the book's content and Alhamdulillah the facts and evidences satisfies me.
Whatever the conclusions at the end of the book, still we have to consider other findings. But at least you will have bigger perceptions and understandings on this particular great warrior. Wallahualam..
Synopsis from kembarapecintabuku (Thanks to the writer):
"Ada dua perkara yang penting dan menarik dari buku Alexander adalah Zulqarnain ini:
- Pendedahan siapa Socrates
- Pendedahan Alexander The Great adalah Zulqarnain
Malah yang lebih memeranjatkan, pendedahan buku ini juga mengaitkan Socrates dengan Lukman al-Hakim (nama yang disebut-sebut dalam Al-Quran, namun sehingga kini tidak pernah dapat dikaitkan dengan sesiapa dalam lipatan sejarah).

Ya, selama ini kita telah banyak dimomokkan oleh tulisan barat-yahudi yang memesongkan fakta sejarah mengenai tokoh-tokoh zaman dahulu, dengan tidak menceritakan fakta sebenarnya. Maha Besar Allah kerana telah menurunkan Al-Quran untuk membetulkan fakta-fakta salah yang dipesongkan oleh sarjana-sarjana yahudi mahupun yunani itu sendiri."
The wife on the other hand, is reading Sophie Kinsella's book "Confessions of a Shopaholic". No comment on that..
Synopsis from Sophie Kinsella:
"Meet Rebecca Bloomwood.
She’s a journalist. She spends her working life telling others how to manage their money.
She spends her leisure time … shopping.
Retail therapy is the answer to all her problems. She knows she should stop, but she can’t. She tries Cutting Back, she tries Making More Money. But neither seems to work. The stories she concocts become more and more fantastic as she tries to untangle her increasingly dire financial difficulties. Her only comfort is to buy herself something – just a little something…
Can Becky ever escape from this dream world, find true love, and regain the use of her Switch card?
The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic… the perfect pick me up for when it’s all hanging in the (bank) balance."
Well, that's us, our way of occupying some of our free time. How about you guys?.. do share with us if you have books that you think others might enjoy reading...
