mmm, it's hard to choose "best." Some classics come to mind like A Little Princess and Heidi, etc, but the problem with those books is that the girl doesn't really have much of a personality. The characterization is weak. The same is true with classics like The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. They're good books, but the characters are blah.

It seems like characterization is better is more contemporary books. A really good recent one I read is Mockingbird, about a girl with aspergers syndrome, and "When You Reach Me," a recent Newbery winner.

I'm reading through a 8 book box set about a girl named Ramona Quimby, from her days starting kindergarten to 8 years old, and it's really great so far. You really get a sense of the girl's personality.

"I go a place in my mind that I shouldn't go"

Randomly scribbled this single line down as I was coming off an intense psychedelic trip. Although a lot of the specific details were lost im my though process, I can still remember visiting a very dark and sinister place in my head.

While on the drug, I went deep into my being and saw things I didn't like. Things I wish I didn't see. It was as if a veil was lifted on my primal though process and I could see where my thoughts were coming from. Kinda hard to explain...but it revealed some scary shit deep the core of my personality

It was as if my conciousness was its own being, traveling through the different sections of my personality. I could actually see and feel each individual personality trait, and each had a distinct color and emotional response. I had ended up stopping in a bad, dark spot and I could literally feel satan's presence throughout my being. It scared me bad and I wanted to leave, but I couldn't

Wow that was random, weird flashback I just had after seeing that little note I jotted down a while ago

Berlinguer was not the kind of Communist to do that sort of thing (attacking socialists in the media or whatever). If ever there was a communist who would not have done that, it was Enrico Berlinguer. I strongly suspect he was totally sincere when he said that quote with none of the meanings you attribute.

>> No.3921087

Well, yeah, I agree with you, but at the same time, the social and political contexts are totally different. As evidenced by the fact that Berlinguer was the head of a party which was a significant factor in electoral politics. It's a whole different ballgame here and now.

I keep trying to sit down with my laptop every night and read a few chapters out of my reading list. I'm a careful reader; I make notes on passages, look up words I don't know, and search for pictures of art or buildings described I can't visualize. These last few months I've been extremely lazy, only doing this once a week at most. I have a stack of unread books that keeps growing with every passing week. I'm not in college, I wanted to be well-read on my own time. So I usually open 4chan instead or do some other mindless activity, and my regret grows with each passing day. I'll be 32 this year, and I haven't made a good scratch on all the wonderful books I want to read before I die.

Last week I went to the bookstore and bought a copy of "A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man" and the elderly British man working the counter lit up when he saw it. He told me that the book had "a wonderful sermon" and asked me if I was Catholic, and I was pretty stoned so I just said "naaaaaaaah." He looked so disappointed and stopped making conversation.

I felt shitty about it for the next few days because he was so excited to discuss Joyce with someone and I shut him down, but then I read the book and realized that it's about Joyce losing his faith among other things. Now I can't get over how much of a pleb that old man was, since he was too stupid to realize the book was negative about Catholicism.

I didn't shoot up, but it was still pretty great. There was a rush of intense, warm pleasure that lingered for a while, then I nodded off for a couple hours and felt incredibly relaxed and slowed. It gradually tapered off, but I felt residual effects for the rest of the day.

The thing I remember most is how I felt more okay than I ever have in my life. Not giddy or joyful, but I felt like I could die I was so content.

assuming you are injection...
My junk was roxie, 30mg of oxycodone that is conveniently (almost intentionally) water soluble. You get your little blue pill with the box M's - those are the best, good day if you snag an Mbox - brake it along the perforation and throw it in a spoon. You grab your rig, pull of the lid on the top and fill said lid with water. You pull back no more than 30ccs. Spray the pill. The water surrounding the pill turns into blue magic. You use the botton of the plunger to crush the two halves very very carefully - you don't want pieces of sweet jesus oxy flying out and disappearing into the void. Then, you cook it for a brief amount of time, trying to get out the filler, and stir. Your magic puddle is anxious to be inside your viens and there is a warm home-like fire burning in your heart. You grab a piece of cotton - very small - and roll it up into a ball.
Extract.
Tie off.
oooooh that warmth, you know it's coming, oh man, you're wet, i'm not even kidding.
This is my favorite, almost more than the shot itself.
You find your vein. Go for it.
The sting of the needle is subte but sadistically enthralling.
Waiiiit, pull back. REGISTERED!
You see blood! You know you're in.
You are now certain of your success.
Congratulations. This is the feeling.
Slowly, you see the blue magic entering you. You're down. You pull out and loosen the tourniquet as fast as you can - throw it the fuck off.
Lay your head back.
