Taking a break from reading by reading some more!

So basically I went into the book store today to buy my books for next quarter and they only had one of the three that I need. I went ahead and grabbed the copy of Introduction to Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, which sounds very exciting, and then walked around the fiction/sci fi/books you should read if you haven't sections and ended up

do you mean 1984? its good but brave new world is better...i have it at my house in puyallup if u wanna borrow it after spring break. animal farm and 1984 are about communism and brave new world is about some wierd things that might happen in the future. i have some crazy books about whats going to happen in the future as far as some social theorists think that are really good too if u ever want to read them. sorry i got so excited it just seems like no one reads books anymore and i wanted to tell you all about them. ok well have a good day dan.

I did mean 1984, I don't even know why I typed 1981. Oh well. The strange thing is I used to protest reading with a passion, and then towards my junior year of high school I started to realize that I actually liked it. I didn't really start reading a lot until a couple years ago. I already bought Brave New World, so I won't need to borrow it, but thanks for the offer.

definitely read catcher in the rye, that's one of my favorite books ever written. i love salinger's style so much, but just especially that book (and someone f---ing borrowed my copy and i have no idea who it is, so if they read this, give it back).

you should also read:
- a clockwork orange by anthony burgess
- one flew over the cuckoo's nest by ken kesey
- catch-22 by joseph heller
- breakfast of champions by kurt vonnegut (anything by vonnegut, really)
- v. by thomas pynchon
- great expectations by charles dickens (okay, it doesn't really fit with the dystopian literature that you're kind of looking at, but it's one of my favorite books just because of the character construction of estella)
- the kite runner by khaled housseni (again, doesn't really go with the apocolyptic views of the other books but it's a good read, i'm into it)

Animal Farm disturbed me. I read it in 9th grade.

[whatwoulddando]

Yeah for Mashi!!!

so i might not be in with all the books you have all listed or read, or are going to read; but i do love to read. i can honestly say that i am genuinely stoked that people still dig a good book, and that they have the guts to chat about them.

just sending you a big WAY TO GO!

okay... that's all i've got.
