    Hi! I'm new at this, so please overlook me if I do something wrong; better yet, let me know; lol. Right now I am reading "Hamlet" by Shakespeare. First time reading it, and let me tell you, some of our most popular slang has come from this book.

    to be honest, reading hamlet in highschool was kinda BOOOORING... just describing and talking way too much.. this is romantic time, I know but still, I have had better books than this.. Liked Crime and Punishment more than Hamlet.. tho the best one is still "The Waiting Game" and some estonian books that really kicks ass ;)

    That’s he wonderful thing about Shakespeare -it all sounds so familiar - then you realize how much of the language came out of his work

    I am reading "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy, and "Blood Canticle" by Anne Rice. The Harry Potter books are good to read when i need to pep my imagination though.
