I bought a buttload of books today.

Total came to about 60 some bucks....

I got the doors of perception, on the road, a clockwork orange, and one flew over the kookoos nest............... and I also bought Island by aldous huxley for my friends Birthday tommorrow.

I know I'm cool right. Reading is awesome.

nope not all i,ve read
i,ve given up on alot of books in the first 100 pages, i try to read at least the first 50 pages and if i am still uninterested i,ll discard it
one of the good parts about the internet has been finding good books to read, 10 years ago it was a bit difficult, i started with reading King and other paperbacks you,d find in the supermarket and then got into the classics, the Russians r still my all time fav. the unabridged "war and peace" is 1 of my all time favorites, definetly gotta get in the right calm mindset to undertake learning all the characters,the depth of Tolstoy,s intellect is incredible, i doubt if a person like him can even exist in todays society, what with all the media and external influences 1 is bombarded with in modern times
and no there r some on the list i havent read yet, cant find them through the libraries and hard to find used unless u bought them online, probably read 90% of them though, i keep modifying a recommendation list from a usb thumb drive

If you can find the original dune books, the ones by Frank Herbert. They are amazing.

Ive been doing a lot of reading myself.
Lots of political books , and sociology stuff. and Im going to teach my self Mandarin Chinese.

My new thing is getting any book I want from the central branch of the library , and have it delivered to my branch, so I have an infinite selection to choose from. Its awesome, and free!

Plus I work in a copy center...!
OoD

I thought that said Scientology books and I was scared...
But seriously, good luck with the Mandarin, I heard it's a really hard language to learn.
The last book I read was.. fuck, I don't even remember.
But I'm guessing either American Psycho [which was good until about halfway through] and Fear And Loathing [because I'd seen the movie, but not read the book. Needless to say, I loved the book so much more].

I'm hoping to get my hands on Spirit Molecule or Doors Of Perception soon, though.
