as i have stated before, i'm only 15. And i know i occasionaly have shitty spelling, so the human spell checkers can click the 'back' button right now. What do you consider to be some books that you've read or are reading right now that are essential for the human mind?(and don't even go there with the 'you wouldn't be able to read it with your high school mentality' i read everything i can get my hands on.) If you could just type a short (or long) list I'd be a very happy hormonal nutcase. -sharon

everyone should read "the first and last freedom" by j. krishnamurti just check it out and your eyes will open to what is and for fiction take your time and read "war and peace" also "the idiot" and "crime and punishment" by the other great russian writer late

chomsky.
read the first 50 pages of noam chomsky's class warfare...you'll know more truth about your nation than 30 average americans combined.

You are a very sad sad man, MR END. But your efforts are... appreciated. I'm sure I'll find that list very helpfull, seeing as in Alaska we have very few book selections and an even poorer education. note -do not read this MR END- for those of you who actually do live in Alaska I'm not saying you're uneducated. I'm actually making this up as i go. I'm sure you're all very very smart. Have fun ice-fishing and playing on those oil lines. -sharon

No reason to be unhappy. See, what i said wasn't all critisism. Just... partly. So go on, be happy, continue to live in your own little world, it's all good

go ask alice by anonymous it will be in the no fiction section but I really feel you would like it.
