Now I know this is not smut, though I promised you more smutty books that being said I though this one book would be a great place to wet your interest in reading. This was the book that got me to seek help for my PTSD and also got me to wonder about my genetic heritage and to spend 200$ on a DNA test only to find that most of these places are in my DNA map! This was the book that started it all! I found this book or heard about it on tv when I was suffering from a cold in 2006 after I had a massive depressive episode. That being said this book talks about countless war zone excluding Romania of yore and Ukraine though I think they should have been mentioned in the book. That being said it talks about places like Chechnya and Afghanistan and beyond that you may or may not want to know about, though I want to know everything. Literally this book was able to make me laugh, cry and get angry at the same time as well as I still a love of learning about other cultures that I sort of already had because I travelled with my parents. This book i was able to see how to cope with nasty things and people though I was in a perfect country of Canada, this was a big learning and entertaining curve for me. So I learned about everyone who was similar to me though not as fortunate as me to get out these hotspots. That being said I gave me a lot of compassion about the normal people who are stuck in hot spots! That said, it is a wonderful book (or series of books) to help you learn about this nerd called earth and about your self! Though it talks about what to do when you are dealing with war/ terrorism/kidnapping and other situations this is a fun book to read. I read this book first when I was 17, though I learned about the world though the authors eyes and in a fun/funny point of view, This is where I am going to unfortunately spoil the book. At the book of this book they give the warning signs for PTSD, and I just got out of a massive depression and was wondering what caused it! That being said I read this section on PTSD, and it helped me get the help I needed and the proper care. If it were not for this book….. literallly I would be in a mental hospital, jail, or worse dead. I would not be 37 and almost intact that would be certain. This book also helped me figure out where my ancestors came from (which was Central Asia and some of east and Western Asia). That being, I ow this book not just my life or my mental health but also to learning where I truly came from ethnicity wise.
So weather you are like me who were born in a war zone, first world country, wanting to learn more and /looking for you place in ethnic history of human kind, this is the book that will move you and sake you and even make you give to a few (legitimate) charities too! It is 1000 pages but it 1000 magical pages in my opinion! Personally I would by the author a drink a do a tattoo for a job well done. That being read this book and you will be amazed and freaking out. It is rather addictive , just to warn you and you will want to read books like this later on because this book. I started to read this book as a teenager and a curious cat and then found that I even learned and helped my self not just the world too. It is also funny entertaining and rather educational, like your favourite teacher in school. That being said I am where I am because of the book series! Must I tell you more, I am getting a laughing skull tattoo because of the books as I way to say thank you for helping the world and the individuals in it!
I am also very considerate and thoughtful about other cultures because of the book (series). If there is one bookm that I would highly recommend that is not smutty or romancing this will be the first damn book I would suggest reading, even if you haven’t read 1000 pages all at once! Start here. This was literally the first big big book I read as teenager, and I still read this book from time to time when i am bored. This is one book I would first and highly recommend recommend for teenagers and people who are concerned with this world. Just try it would won’t be regretting it!
Are you reading it?
