as the world burns: 50 simple things you can do to stay in denial by derrick jensen & stephanie mcmillan.
it's a graphic novel about all the myths of mainstream "green lifestyles" that involves aliens that shit gold in a satire of george w. bush's blatant disregard for the environment. i'd recommend it.

The Godfather Returns. I started it last summer but just picked it back up and got a good chunk of it finished. It's pretty darn good.

I just finished The Dharma Bums by Kerouac, which was fantastic and has me quite restless. I started The Importance of Being Ernest yesterday and realized that Oscar Wilde was one funny man.

How are those Stephen Fry books, any particular one you'd recommend? If they're as charming as he is... I was reading Günter Grass - Cat and mouse, but with my exams coming up I feel guilty reading non-school books.

I'm currently reading Siddartha by Herman Hesse in my World Literature class, and its super interesting. Once school lets out in a week or two, I want to read Apathy and Other Small Victories and the City of Dreaming Books. I wouldn't mind re-reading The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy again too, I love those books so much.

I read Siddhartha in ninth grade and liked it a lot, though it is definitely time for a re-read. It's such an incredible story.

I've been tossing around Leviathan, Gravity's Rainbow and a collection of Stevenson.

I just downloaded the audiobook of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It's 32 hours of highland time travel romance. I'm pretty sure I'm up for it.

I just picked up a book out of the 6$ bin at Barnes & Noble. It's called Animal's People and involves people in Khaufpur, India after a big chemical explosion/spill. It is very interesting and good, I recommend.

'sometimes my heart pushes my ribs' by ellen kennedy was amazing. anyone who likes 'postmodern'ish poetry should read it.

I just read Looking For Alaska by John Green. Pretty good YA coming-of-age story.
