this reminds me of my freshman literature class, in which i wrote an essay on An American Tragedy based solely on classroom discussion and managed a B.

at the time i read it, i thought tale of two cities was the best book i had ever read. after some separation from the immediate effect of the book, i would still put it in my top 3 for sure.

that's dikkens with two k's, the well-known dutch author

jack london can really tell a story. i got physically cold reading to build a fire.

7) farenheit 451 (there you go, austin)
8) slaughterhouse five

(these are still in no particular order, by the way)

i started to add the godfather, but then i decided no book should be on this...

i must confess i have never read hardy or heinlein (except maybe a couple of hardy's short stories). i'll have to add them both to my list.

i want to replace #7 with i, robot. if you are only going to read one thing by asimov, that needs to be it.

i didn't have the patience for that book, but i loved that other fishing story he wrote (old man and the sea). i'm not going to try to slog through the whole book to find the fishing interlude --...

as much as i would love for trump to be barred from future federal office, i just don't see compelling evidence that he incited the riots. maybe i missed something, but everything i've seen just...

i love the idea of ranked voting, and i think it is the only practical way to get to a multi-party system, but how do we get there when the major parties know that would be the end of their monopoly?

more (viable) parties would force that, no?

this one's fun (don't believe me just watch)

it's like you snuck a microphone into my shower...

the T-state logo looked better on the helmets without the blue outline on the T.

right plan; wrong reason...
