>Tyranny in democratic republics does not proceed in the same way, however. It ignores the body and goes straight for the soul. The master no longer says: You will think as I do or die. He says: You are free not to think as I do. You may keep your life, your property, and everything else. But from this day forth you shall be as a stranger among us. You will retain your civic privileges, but they will be of no use to you. For if you seek the votes of your fellow citizens, they will withhold them, and if you seek only their esteem, they will feign to refuse even that. You will remain among men, but you will forfeit your rights to humanity. When you approach your fellow creatures, they will shun you as one who is impure. And even those who believe in your innocence will abandon you, lest they, too, be shunned in turn. Go in peace, I will not take your life, but the life I leave you with is worse than death. ~Alexis de Tocqueville
He really hit the nail on the head here didn't he? No wonder I can't get laid.

HI, I'm 22 and all I've read was Harry Potter and a few Stephen King stories.
I want to start reading, but each book I try ... just doesn't seem interesting for me. I really hope, that you could suggest something to start with. I want to read a book that will pull me out of reality, something with action, drama and mystery.
