I don't read historical fiction... and non fiction is definitely not my taste. DX

chellybean1985 03-20-2013 06:02 PM

I dont read history I just like to watch documentories (sp?)on it

xuvrette 03-20-2013 06:08 PM

ooo! ooo! Documentaries, visual is very good in history presentation!
That is how they should teach history, not through boring texts.

Aspinou 03-20-2013 06:09 PM

I love reading non-fiction books. But not biographies.

chellybean1985 03-20-2013 06:13 PM

I am a very visual learner! I love to watch learning types of things!

xuvrette 03-20-2013 06:18 PM

I would like the presentation of facts to be linked in a way that is like a story, interesting.

Aspinou 03-20-2013 06:19 PM

I love watching films about things, they're inspiring and emotional in a way that a text isn't. However I don't remember things and details from visual media as well as from a text. I need a text that I can re-read and most importantly I need to make my own notes. otherwise I forget.
Point is: it's very different how people remember and learn things. :)

xuvrette 03-20-2013 06:22 PM

Yep, I agree.
You just have to find your way of learning.
It is very important to know which method is suitable for you.

my favorite non fiction books I've read for school and I liked them a lot. Ones was about Descartes and some history and philosophy, but also the mystery of what happened to his bones. the other was a very story based account of different explorers/archeologists.

xuvrette 03-20-2013 06:25 PM

Descartes?
I love mysteries. IF it is about mysteries, then I guess the non fiction could be itneresting as well, reading up all the theories.

Aspinou 03-20-2013 06:29 PM

It's really a plus when the school lit is interesting, when you have a lot to read for school there's usually not time to read other stuff. (for me at least. :/

Kat Dakuu 03-20-2013 06:29 PM

just google him if you want to know. I don't like to have to explain everything.

xuvrette 03-20-2013 06:34 PM

A philosopher?

Kat Dakuu 03-20-2013 06:35 PM

yes. a famous one, but also a mathematician.

xuvrette 03-20-2013 06:39 PM

... Famous. XD I never heard of him.
Seems like my history class jumped him.
Socrates or Plato was mentioned though.

Kat Dakuu 03-20-2013 06:43 PM

well, I never learned about any philosophers in basic history classes. But Descartes saying "I think therefore I am" I knew since I started junior high.

xuvrette 03-20-2013 06:46 PM

huh? I only have vague idea about what... was it napoleon said... something about conquer, I am...

Kat Dakuu 03-20-2013 06:48 PM

I don't know anything about Napoleon really, but if he said something like "I conquer, therefore I am," then he's playing off of Descartes philosophy.

xuvrette 03-20-2013 06:51 PM

Or was it something alongt he lines of... "What I see, I conquer."
I forgot... DX

Kat Dakuu 03-20-2013 06:57 PM

I don't know.

xuvrette 03-20-2013 07:04 PM

But I sure never heard of Descartes. :/ hmm...
Anyway~
I am more interested with Greek or Roman if it is European history.

chellybean1985 03-20-2013 07:08 PM

I do like learning about egypts (sp?) his though it is very interesting to me.

xuvrette 03-20-2013 07:12 PM

I am more interested with greek and Chinese. XD

Kat Dakuu 03-20-2013 07:12 PM

my favorite parts of art history was the beginning, learning about egyptian, mayan, and other ancient civilizations. I like roman art a lot too, but I'd rather not learn about it all the time.

xuvrette 03-20-2013 07:20 PM

oh lol. XD Nothing about eastern?
