Cool, I've been wanting to read a longer book. I don't have a lot of time dedicated to reading, but I'm gonna try designating one hour each day for "reading time."

Oh, I see.

Ill still get around sometime and ask for a few good ones.

It's worth noting that I'm not into many genres of literature. I don't like sci-fi, fantasy, horror, mystery, or Tom Clancy. I enjoy satires (especially), classic pieces of literature that have THEMES I can relate or grasp onto; I mostly enjoy a piece of work that stimulates my mind.

I like Shakespeare, for example. One of my favorite pieces of literature is Hesse's Siddhartha; my current favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut, and I don't expect that to change any time soon.

The Collected Longer Poems of Kenneth Rexroth
Omeros - Derek Walcott
The Esential Neruda; Selected Poems
Between the Acts - Virginia Woolf
Oscar and Lucinda - Peter Carey


Thats the few that were out. There are a ton on shelves... And that is a prime example of her reading selection.

I like books like:

Pandoras Star
Watership Down
Redveous (SP) with Rama

Those were just the books of the draw, but there are 400 others that arent.... I hate it too if that makes any difference whatsoever.
