I like books.
They have words and pretty pictures.
Seriously
, though, I do tend to fail some of my classes because I read and don't pay attention. Here are some of my favorites:
The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series
Gulliver's Travels
Dante's
Inferno, Puragatory, and
Paradise
Beowulf
Good Omens
I am also partial to Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Some of them have immense amounts of deep philosophical meaning. I also enjoy telling that to those annoying people who read the books because they are so 'dark'. They gape at me with open mouths when I tell them that the deaths of so many mortals is really quite a blaise metaphor for the fragility of human life.
I do the same thing with LotR. It is amazing how many people (girls) I have found who read only the parts with Legolas in them.
*shakes head sadly* oh well...
P.S:
Gilwen I have read
Out of the Silent Planet , and I think it is quite good, I just can't find the last two.
