What a coincidence! I have just finished "Does God play dice". Its a fantastic book.
Career-wise, I hope I have made the right decision. The major factor was the work experience, which went on for a long time (I worked in the volunteers services). To be frank, I hated every minute of it! To everyone, it may sound that Im a cold hearted person, but it's a big commitment to make, and I didn't think I was capable of doing it.
