I LOVED The Aleph! It's pure genius! I'm reading "Ficciones" now =D
Everyone, read Borges!

The Poisonwood Bible, A brave New World, 1984, Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Fies
I read most of them before I had to read them for english, so my opinion of them wouldn't be tainted by schoolwork. It worked, I loved them, and eveyone else just kept thinking of the 7-8 page in-class eassy.
And of corse, all my beloved comicbooks. Everyone hears "comic", takes one look at them and tosses them in the same lump as Magic cards.

Wait... People don't like those books?
Every single time I see my Uncle he tells me to read nineteen eighty four like it's the Covenant of Christ or something, I finally read it and but for a couple interesting points it's a bit jank.

(I might go off on one here, sorry)

Not to mention every time I inflict myself with self loathing by reading a newspaper it gets mentioned as though it's the model for current society (Traffic cameras installed in traffic black spot. OMG BIG BROTHER!!!!1!!1!!)
