Advantages: Inspirational, funny and fantastically eye-opening Disadvantages: Not a single thing
in school I struggled to focus during history classes enough to pass. The Freedom in Exile, the autobiography of the Dalai Lama describes in his own words, not only what it was like growing up revered by the people of Tibet, but it is also a complete lesson on a period of history I knew very little about. I found it fascinating to learn about the Tibetan culture and their later and long-running struggle for freedom. I was amazed, and ashamed at how little the Western world was prepared to do to help this small but proud country regain their self-worth and above all, I was taken by the compassion that the Dalai Lama continued to hold for not only his people, but the individual members of the Chinese Government and those who caused such pain for his people.
Far from being nothing more than a bleak and uncomfortable tale to read, I found ...
Advantages: An insight into a Great Man! Disadvantages: Uncertainty about pronouncing nouns
I bought 'LongRoadtoFreedom'oh it must be more than three ago years now. The will was there, but with two children, now aged 3 and 6 years old, I just never seemed to have the time. This summer I finally took the plastic wrapping off and vowed to 'make the time' to read it. I started mid August and finished after mid September.

Advantages: Emotional; powerful; good to listen to when down Disadvantages: Some monotonous backdrops; some depressing songs
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I usually listen to what could be classed as ?pop? music, but the power and sentiment of ?Someday? by Nickleback really hit me hard and made me rethink my ideals. The song immediately gripped me from the very first few words ? I was amazed at the guitar and vocal ability that was initially presented and just had to keep listening.
The following day I felt that I just had to buy Nickleback?s latest album, which I was pleased to find included ?Someday?. I ordered it for just under £8 from the internet with free delivery included ? a bargain even by my standards! The album arrived the next day and I immediately unwrapped it to see what my newly found musical obsession had in store for me. I was not disappointed.
I?ll agree with you ? the album is now quite old and I am eagerly awaiting the next instalment ...
