i devour books. i'll read pretty much any genre (aside from romance and sci-fi..i've never been able to get into those) but i don't read the classics or anything like that. i read what sounds interesting. it may not be honest 'literature', but i enjoy it.
i'm going to st. john's tomorrow, but there's a 6 hour gap between when i get to the airport and my flight, and i should take something to read. what books should i take with me?
here are my choices:
any one of the hitchhikers trilogy of five
orson scott card's: the memory of earth, the call of earth, the ships of earth, enchantment, magic street, ender's game, ender's shadow, shadow of the hegemon, shadow puppet, shadow of the giant
any one of the six harry potter books
any one of the lord of the rings trilogy
i probably shouldn't take no more than two books though...
naomi wolf - 'the beauty myth'
charles dickens - 'a christmas carol'
compilation - 'teen angst: a celebration of really bad poetry'
kurt vonnegut - 'slaughterhouse five'
random much?

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.
Well, I haven't read it so much as listened to my prof talk about the general plot and a couple of key points from the first book. I could write it, but I can't make any promises regarding that "good" clause.
