I guess a serious discussion is a bit too much for you, eh? You didn't even try.

1984, OP. Fear the government, they're scary.

The Big Lebowski

Today's society doesn't read. A guidebook would never be read.

Hmm, I'd have to say American Psycho.

Can we do more than just list books here please, guys? I mean, doesn't it bore you to do that? Give a brief reason why at least...

If you come here to just list names of books then I'd say you're a bitch. That's boring as fuck.

Okay, that's a pretty cool attitude to have. Do you have any books that you might be looking at to help you, that are similar? Why are they relevant?

I'm just trying to get a discussion going, guys.
