you should read more

yeah
it's just how they do it at my school i guess

dumb

muffin man wrote:dumb

i can kinda understand it
you can only read so much in the english textbooks and promoting reading is a good thing
granted it doesn't look like that many people in my school will actually give a crap about it but whatever

oh yeah man animal farm is a good book
i just finished a view from the bridge and of mice and men (school required)

one of the things i eventually want to read is catch-22 which i hear is great

I'm gonna start reading Dune soon.

muffin man wrote:you should read more

i know i should

I was reading the Silence of the Lambs and the Perks Of Being A Wallflower, but I'm stopping for now since I lost both.

Last thing I read was Edgar Allan Poe's the Raven.

I'm wanting to read Cloud Atlas, Lolita, A Clockwork Orange, Casino Royale, some book on Wikileaks, Snowden, others, and Chronicles Volume One.

For comics I still need to read Watchmen, and wanting to read some Batman.

so basically everything controversial ever

mein kampf is why people liked hitler but then he just one day woke up and said "fuck jews"

mein kampf was fucking terribly written

yep apparently it was actually a bit of a literary travesty but the germans went with it anyway because they were mad as fuck

for fucks sake benzo mussolini literally called it a boring tome thath e could never take himself to read that is how shit it was
