    Thought this would be an interesting thread to start, assuming anybody on bbw is literate :dribble: Right now I'm reading Sun Tzu's art of war. Not because I like it, but because nearly any business job or internship wants you to have read it, so I might as well just in case that's the way I want to go in life.

    In english class, we're reading the Bible, as in literature. I myself just started getting a subscription to Newsweek magazine, so I've been reading them and they're really interesting

    I like to read, but once Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter are done with I'd like to read some "grown-up" books so any suggestions would be nice.

I'm excited for it but afraid that it may be a disappointment like the Everworld series. There just seems like there's so much to do for just 1 book.

    I don't read books alot either, but I read every day if you count magazines. I am currently reading this biography about Wilt Chamberlain. I like it alot, it's very interesting, and it has alot of interesting stories in it from other players and people who were around Wilt.

    I'm reading <u>Hearts in Atlantis</u> by Stephen King too. I've read just about all his books, and I used to think he was just another popular horror writer, but after careful review, I can admit I was wrong. Dude is prolific and classic.I'm also rereading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I've read it twenty times and it hasn't gotten old. It's like a song I can listen to over and over. The difference between novels and literature is shelf life.
