I think that I'd be most interested in reading books with some kind of philosophical undertone, or at least something provoking me to think, and wouldn't be adverse to non-fiction either. I intend to go back and read a couple of books from my childhood firstly, The Solitaire Mystery and Sophie's World, and am also quite interested in reading Fahrenheit 451. I am also very interested in reading some classic literature, however, as I do feel I am sadly lacking in such knowledge. So any recommendations with books, I'd be very grateful for. To a lesser extent I'm also looking for some classic films to watch as I have far too little knowledge of cinema. I'd be very interested to hear any recommendations.
Something else I'm looking to do this Summer (probably towards the beginning) is buy a laptop, but my knowledge of such sites and technical jargon kinda leaves me in a bit of a hole. One of the things said laptop must be able to do is run The Sims 3 adequately. I have no idea what is good value for money for me or what would work well, but currently I'm looking at around 4GB of RAM and a dedicated graphics card. Yes, that is the extent of my knowledge. My budget is around £700. I'm not really interested in getting a desktop as I'm looking for something portable. So if anyone could help with anything... I'd be very grateful.
