  • HUNGER GAMES

  • I absolutely LOVE Jane Eyre! And when the one guy mentioned Death of a Salesman I had to laugh because my AP English class was all over it. I would also add to the list of things people should read anything by Oscar Wilde. He is was a great satirical writer and I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Importance of Being Earnest by him.

  • good stuff!

  • I could just imagine someone sitting in there room alone in a chair flippin through pages in a dictionary. Hell why not a Calculus book. lol

  • I was so mad about this book i just finished becuse , the ending was just not closing for me.I sadddd.By the way the book is called Hush

  • Hell yeah for dude at 1:17 recommending Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree.

    That's a great, easy read.

    If you want something relatively easy to digest, yet still fairly profound, Kurt Vonnegut might work for ya.

    If you're ready for the more advanced stuff- try either Don Quixote (by Cervantes), or Laurence Stern's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.

    Sterne would be better, if only because his is originally in English- but if you try it, bring patience and a sense of humor.

  • That was a cool vid.

  • of course Dostoyevsky "crime and punishment",but thats my type :)
