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.
