For school I am reading some short E.B. White stories and some Steinbeck passages.
I'm not a big fan of either really. I think David McCullough is up next and I'm excited.

Just read "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster...
Crazy short story and very cool read :D
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared M. Diamond
a good read about past societies that have fallen and why.
Most current archiologist say that there were civilizations tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years ago. Mars perhaps? With finding such as the Cydonia region and articles of space artifacts "The Brooking Report", who knows how far back humans or other intelligent life forms may have laid claim to our solar system
BONANZA OF GREEN(A Fully Illustrated Do-It-Yourself Guide to Growing the Highest Quality Medical Marijuana Indoors)-By BushyOldGrower:420thought:
[I]Les Miserables[I] by Victor Hugo. It's about a thousand pages long and Hugo's the worst rambler ever (an entire section of the book is devoted to the Battle of Waterloo, which took place a few months before the story starts), but it's a dazzling and very moving tale that I'd recommend for anyone who has the patience. Jean Valjean makes a hell of an anti-hero with a hell of a name.
Indeed its a lengthy one but 3 quarters of the way through you have such a revelation that the last part is almost like another novel entirely.....completely changed my outlook on the book.Quote:

I'll be sure to check that out, man. All I've read of Eliot are the standards: The Hollow Men, The Waste Land, Ash Wednesday, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. I don't much care for Eliot's worldview and I despise New Criticism, but I think his poetry is brilliant. What is Rum Runner, anyway? It's not one of his plays, is it? Can't remember him writing any novels...Quote:
