/lit/ - Literature

Hi /lit. I'm a good looking, fit, intelligent guy who has been handed everything on a silver platter my whole life. I have a good (not great) job in the family business, and I kind of just coast along, enjoying the perks of adulation that come with a position of some power.

Only thing is, lately I've been feeling like something is missing from my life.

I've never achieved anything on my own terms (unless you call skimping customers on their weed count an achievement).

What are some books I can read to inspire me or motivate me, or otherwise help me find some meaning in my life?

What are some good books on pirates? I'm thinking of teaching a course on piracy /lit, but I'm having trouble filling it out.

Not quite what you're asking but . . .

The head of the department at the school where I teach English pronounces indefatigably "in-de-fa-TEEG-ably". I tried to politely inform her of the correct pronunciation, but she insisted she was right, and I ended up just letting it go. I just hope she looked into it afterwards and is too embarrassed to tell me I was right, but I sincerely doubt it.
