I finished my undergraduate degree just last month and decided,
since I don't have to waste time memorizing crap for a while, I might
as well do something educational, interesting, and fun.
I started to read some old classics that everyone I know read
in high school or before...

I started with 1984 the first night and Brave_New_World the
second, two "timeless" classics, but a bit depressing if read
without a break!!!

I went on to read a Steinbeck novel, To_A_God_Unknown, one of the
most fantastic and thoughtful treatments of life and some
aspects of Christianity that I have ever seen.

I then read M. Twain's Connecticut_Yankee and am now on
Roughing_It which is utterly hilarious.

Lets here it for classics and forget about PORN!!!!!!!!
