A History of the World in 10½ Chapters by Julian Barnes

5.0

---

As I read this book, I tried to find the missing 1/2 chapter that's being mentioned in the title. The hints came along the way, as this book tries to portray itself as a footnote to history. It criticises the nature of history and how it's being written, "When inadequacy of the evidence are met with the interest of the writers". Most of the time, we don't read the truth in history. We only read what the historians try to show to us. And that's the problem with our world now, in this world when overflooded information appears in our lives.
