I read the back of the cereal box a lot. Lots of vocab on there.

I do read. I like classics, or stuff now a days like Prozac Nation, stuff like that. Or Serial Killer stuff.

Woot for all the depressed kids.

i read arthur c clarks book 3001 and one in a day once. that was boring as hell, but hten on a 6 hour coach journey they're wasn't much else to do. the joy of school trips hmm? as for now though, i spend most of readin time studying the martial arts. tao of jeet kun do is wicked, plus it's got a section on philosophy and martial arts on it. not many big words though, but then bruce lee wasn't exactly known for his scholalary works was he? read a book on capoiera too. that had another large section on it about politic and capoiera. that was pretty interesting, with some large words. but then, i don't read books cos of they're large words. i read em cos they interest me. a good funny book is always good too. as for it, nice ignorance. good to see somebody representing the idiot generation.

The Bible, even if ur not christian or anything is always tight.... um i like Sci Fi books cuz i read and watch movies to get away from real life... theres this outher named Orsen Scott Card... he wrote Enders Game, Enders Shadow, Shadow of the Hegmon, Speaker for the DEad, and a few other ones.... thos are tight... i think the only realistic books i like are ones about war... CATCH-22 is fuckin funnier then shit and Farewell to Arms is funny too...
