| _______________________________ [Feb 11,2008 12:44pm - Yeti ""] i stopped reading and tried my hand at writing, but its not working so well. i think i might start reading. |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 11,2008 12:50pm - largefreakatzero ""] I haven't read any Marx, but I have read the other three. Currently, I just read books that are relatively easy on the brain. When you have entered the misery of the work force for several years, you will understand. |

I hate my line of work and as lame as it sounds would love if I could find a job at a library or some easy clerical work where I could fuck off and study half the time. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 11,2008 1:18pm - pam ""] I haven't been reading too much lately cause it's been putting me straight to sleep, but next on my list is The Picture of Dorian Gray. |

| _______________________________ [Feb 11,2008 1:46pm - ason ""] The Secret Life of Plants is a very cool book. I don't know how completely I buy into all of the book's assertions, but it is definitely a recommended read. |

Library jobs are the shit dude. Easiest job ever if you're just stationed at a checkout desk in a relatively non-busy place. |

Speaking as somebody who delved deep into both of these authors in his tender teens, I think this is some of the best advice I've ever heard |

You(like me) are well on your way to early death. If you can make the change to a better job, good for you. I'd like to make a change, but I stay for the money, which isn't bad after 11 years here. |

I'm on a "classics" kick and I've always wanted to read it. |

I got Jon to read a couple pages of Jenny McCarthy's "Belly Laughs" book, but other than that he's not reading daddy books. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 11,2008 3:38pm - Lamp ""] Man would I like to read Fahrenheit 451 again, maybe it was because it was discussed in a class of mine when we were reading it but that book really stuck out to me. |
