George Orwell always knew how to write a great book

The Illiad is my favorite out of that The Odyssey and the Aeneid.

And the Inferno is a great read. It's probably one of my favorite epics of all time.

atlas shrugged- ayn rand
lies my teacher told me- james lowen
on the road- jack kerouac

all great books, the first one is hefty and difficult to read but definitly a life changing book if you can manage to finish it.
lies my teacher told me is a critique of the Disney version of American history that they teach you in schools
and on the road is the semi-autobiographical story of kerouacs cross country trips with neal cassady

all three are must reads, if you like lies my teacher told me then you should check on some of Noam Chomsky's political science books and Howard Zinns A Peoples History of the United States. Good stuff.

I've slowed on the reading front.

Still plowing through the Bukowski collection.
