i might have made this thread before, i dont know, whatever.


any of you kids read? not ride bmx, but actual books. novels?
if so what's your favorite stuff?

i love everything kurt vonnegut's ever written. a man without a country and galapagos are my favorites by him, but slaughterhouse five is really good too. besides that, the great gatsby, a farewall to arms, choke by chuck palahniuk, and i really like lame drama's like stuff by tom clancy and james patterson. and harry potter, obviously.

right now i'm reading one flew over the cuckoo's nest by ken kesey, really good so far. also just got the electric kool-aid acid test by tom wolfe. can't wait to read that. no way a non-fiction book about a group of hippies crossing the country in a dayglo colored bus doing alot of acid isn't going to be awesome.

The vonnegut books we had to read for school were THE ONLY books for school that I actually ever read. Everything else I just use sparknotes.com to keep me on top of things so I don't have to do the readings, I just couldn't really bring myself to read anything else we were assigned because most of it was total shit.
