I want to know what people are reading. IF they are reading at all I mean.
It really takes a lot for me to find a worthy book. Something brilliant that keeps me spellbound (as clichéd as it sounds)

I thought it would be nice to share my list of influential books. By influential I don't mean books that made you smarter, more witty and an educated young trendy person. By influential I mean books that changed your point of view on something, made you realize something about you that you didn't know. Made you feel pathetic. Made you feel small and dumb. Made you feel new. The kinds of books that you wished everyone read. The kind of books you read over and over again. The ones you can quote and re write with your name on them.
I would give out a list of books but it would be quite useless. Not to mention personal. Sometimes I don't want people to read the books I read. I think they loose something when people read them and don't get them. I feel cheated.

Now I leave you with this. I hope people understand it. Or better yet. That they don't.

My second reaction is I'd better have some good head and shoulders shots handy in case I get, you know, abducted and sodomized to death. My third reaction is, well, at least that cuts down on the competition.

If that's not enough, my moisturizer I use is a suspension of inert fetal solids in hydrogenated mineral oil. My point is that, if I'm honest, my life is all about me. "
