    Thumbs down

    Hedley Bull's:

    The Anarchical Society (translated from English into Italian, being read by an American)

    yay for political science texts

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    you read ALL those already?

    damn you're something...

    If you haven't I recommend Joseph Heller's "Catch-22". It's my favorite of all time...
    I also know lots of people say "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" is a book that can have an impact on how you live life.

    My sister also recommended a book called 'Blindness'. unfortunately I'm still stuck in political science readings... (which, if you're ever interested in the first part of Hobbes' "Leviathan" has some very interesting thoughts on humanity and philosophy kinda stuff. I believe that part of the book is titled 'Of Man')

    Thanks for the recommendation (sp?).

    I have already read Blindness in french (l'aveuglement), it was good.

    I will go to the library tomorrow if they have Catch-22. They better have it.

    Reading The Odyssey for English. I don't really like it.

    On my own, I'm reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame (or, Notre Dame of Paris, if you wanna be accurate). Some parts are really interesting and I get absorbed in reading it, but other parts (coughBookIIIcough) nearly bore me to tears. Oh well. I like it overall, anyhow.

    After Notre-Dame, I'm probably going to read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Crime and Punishment. Cuckoo's Nest was on my teacher's list of recommended reading and he said it was a good book. Besides, the title's pretty interesting. My sister had to read Crime and Punishment for her English class, and she said she liked it.

    Of course, I might also relapse and go back to reading books by Diana Wynne Jones for a while, instead of reading classics like I should be. XD

    I just finished reading Heart of Darkness and a book about Thomas Edison's inventions. I started reading Heart of a Dog, a very funny Russian book. I have to finish reading that and Man of the People by next week.
