I bet thats the same asshole. Good patting yourself on the back.

If you haven't read the classics, do so. A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World, Slaughter House V, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of the Stinky Cheese Man, Catch-22, Animal Farm, Fight Club.

You should check out this author named Ayn Rand she writes some pretty intellectual stuff but if you think you're smart enough to take it try the fountainhead it's great

You could start by reading this:

When I was your age I remeber a book that was oddly good, "Looking for Alaska". A very that age book.

Also I read King's "The Mist" recently because someone lent me it, and it was pretty good. Just thinking of things for someone just coming into the reading world.

>> No.850876

of course you didnt realize that i have sixteen year old son that wants a book and am posing as him(to the person who told me to look at the rules)
leaves of grass and the world according to garp seemed good when i looked them up.
I read 1982 a while back.
i'll most likely try to read the books that are mentioned the most
