    I don't read much, and I can't often remember authors names but there have been a few that I really enjoyed. Carl Sandburg's Cornhuskers, the idiot by some russian guy, Jack Kerouac's Desolation Angels, some classics I read in High School like A Tale of Two Cities, Silas Marner and one teacher translated Hamlet and Macbeth to the class which was fascianating. I want to read Knights of the round table soon. It would make good beach reading. That's all I can think of at the moment.

    Ah, how could I forget about that classic. I still remember all the characters... Willie, Linda, Biff...

    Along with the Great Gatsby (gah! but the film is hilarious where the car runs over the woman's head), that was what my Higher English was about.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    (Death of a Salesmen) The flash-backs and all the mood they evoked was just SOOOO brilliantly inspireing! Oh Ben, what a perfect life it would have been if I hadn't been so wrongly practical and considerate...
