There is a controversial book I just finished before starting Wild Swans, that I found excellent, though sometimes upsetting.
Disclaimer: This is very anti-right wing and anti-war and anti-John McClain. And anyone seeing the book in your hands with any clue of what the title means is going to react to you - sometimes not favorably. "Gook" by Irwin A. Tang (from Bonfire Books) This is an assessment of the damage wrought from the use of racial slurs, specifically focused on those used by westerners for Asians. At least 80% of it is documentation of the actions and statements of John McClain, including his acknowledge habit and preference for the use of the racial slur "Gook". Even though I completely agreed with Mr. Tang about the premise of the book, my opinon of Senator McClain was not nearly so hostile as it is now. This is an eye-opening book, to say the least.  Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life. ********************* Find your voice; silence will not protect you.

What do you think of "Paradise Lost" so far? Make sure you read "Paradise Regained" as well. As for myself, I just read a book about investment banking titled "Monkey Business". Not exactly Milton-level literature, but a little eye-opening nonetheless.

I'm in the process of Elfstone of Shannara. I have read two other books in this The Sword of Shannara and First King of Shannara....there are like 23 books in the series O_O I wanna read them all XD
Terry Brooks people, he will rule the world though it's not surprising you caught me off guard. They say you'll fade away, like the ending of a cinderella fairytale... but instead of me dancing in your arms, I'll be left with the ruins of my pumpkin carriage, waiting on my prince that'll never come.*

I'm reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley for my senior project. It's a bitch to read, but I like the way the author thought about things for this one.
