I buy and borrow a lot of books. I read books and then completely forget what happened in them. I like to lend people books (as long as they actually remember to return them). br/ br/ If I m not reading then I'm probably being a hermit in my room, being walked all over by my rats, listening to music, reading/ writing a zine, crafting, chilling... more »

    Hi, Jenny H! UK--v. cool. I see that you are a Fitzgerald fan. So am I, but most particularly The Great Gatsby. In fact, my book is a take on the myth of the American Dream. And as for music, I am also a huge music fan. Bob Dylan being my favorite, and also the Stones. Have a great day!

    I don't know, Jenny, pretty much all the books that are listed as my favorites here on Shelfari would be on my MUST READ list for others!
    Every year for my birthday, I treat myself to re-reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov because if I had to pick my absolute favorite book (which I'm sure you'd agree is like rare torture) it would have to be that one! I think I've read it six times now, counting this year.
    But yeah, anything I marked as favorite, I would preach the value and genius of further. lol.

    When was your hair blue? Have you gone through a rainbow of hair colours or is this just your second change? If I came home with green hair I can assure you I wouldn't have a home to come back to anymore. My folks with disown me. We're from a uptight community of people who think drab (grey, beige &whatever other funereal colours you can think of) is fabulous. And that's only their clothes. Hair, they say, is god-given and should not be trifled with (puh-lease!!). So, green is out of the question. The white streaks alone was too much for them to handle. Can you imagine the reaction to green highlights (I'm not even thinking of going all green)?

    But...it's....eh? Wha...? I'm all for going green. But that's in the ecological sense. Why the sudden jump to green tresses? **Aside: (I always wanted teal green streaks myself. Too fishy, though, especially with my jet black hair. I have had white ones, however. My "Rogue" phase. YECH!)**

    Is your hair actually green now? Or am I hallucinating? **aside: Wouldn't be the first time**

    All of those are important recommendations. Thank you J.H. Have you ever compared Huxley's prognostications vs. Orwell's?...A nice excercise....try it! And Blood-of-God - give my befuddled young Republic another fifteen years. We're on our way!

    Ah, not too cheeky at all. In fact, most people I know ask me that just to amuse themselves, so that they can watch me whither and turn into dust when I say out loud (and in my head, over and over again) just how old I really am. Turned 22 in June. Not too happy about it but, as I keep saying, I was an old soul at 10, so 22 isn't all that bad (yeah right).

    Not as overwhelming as the of trash threatening the gates. I wouldn't steer you wrong though. The Man Without Qualities if well worth your time. Any recommendations for me, Love?
