    the top three books i've ever read, i guess would be:

    steal this book by Abbie Hoffman
    It was great, learning about how to violently ovethrow the government

    The electric kool aid acid test by Tom wolfe
    even though it was a little hard to understand, it really is the greatest book i've ever read

    and
    fear and loathing in las vegas by somebody i forget
    it rivals the electric kool aid acid test with its excellence.

    is the movie of fear and loathing good? im wondering weather its worth a renting.

    My favorite book is "go ask alice" it's a real diary from a teenage girl and so it's anonymous... but it's so good. I'm not kidding it's a real diary... you have to read it!!

    there's this wonderful book called "housekeeping" and i can't remember who it's by, but it's amazing. very powerful and incredibly well written. "Deus-X" by Joseph A. Citro is a pretty interesting freaky, sci-fi type of book. "Live From Death Row" by Mumia Abu-Jamal was really good, too. i learned a lot. i might be listing too many now, but i have just one more....."Rule of the Bone" by Russell Banks was really good.

    the only book that I think I could "recommend to everyone" would be the "Tao of Pooh," by Benjamin Hoff.


    I would have different recommendations for different people at different times.

    my favourite book, personally is "Beelzebub's Tales To His Grandson," but there are very few people I have ever met that I would consider suggesting this book to.
