    Good luck with that whole 'not reading books' thing.

    It'll get you very far in life.

    Oedipus The King by Sophocles

    Ok, let me re-phrase that since your one to assume.

    I don't read books now. I don't have to at this very moment. Durring school though, I'll read what I have to pass.

    And reading random books won't get you anywhere. I read magazines of all kinds. Buisness magz, gaming magz, teen magz, Newsweek *gasp*, and a few others.

    The most sucessful people are ones that are more open to new things. Reading books about some Roman dude won't help you in this era IMO.

    That's because the Oedipus complex got its name from that play. Sophocles was way ahead of his time.

    Anyway, I just finished Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut.

    I learned in Journalism today:

    1/4 of the people in this country read books regularly
    1/2 don' t read books at all.....


    Anyways, I'm reading:

    The Dragonbone Chair- Tad Williams (Greatest book!)
    The Awakening- Chopin
    The Odessey- Homer, (I forget who translated my copy....)
    God Emporor of Dune- Frank Herbert (Great series! I think everyone should read Dune. So great IMO)

    ....yeah, i suggest you read #1 and #4....but especially #1. i so love that book.....stupid college! now i can't finish it for a while. :(

    Just finished The Zahir by Paulo Choelo, beautiful. The part about being slaves to luxury and the appearance of luxury is so true.

    Just finished "The Tristan Betrayal" and recently started "The Sigma Protocol".

    Both by the amazing king of suspense and action thrillers, Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum).
