Thursday Thirteen
Thirteen Things You Should Read Before You Die:
- 1984 (Cause then you'll know who Big Brother is)
- We (Cause everyone and their mom has read 1984 but probably not this one)
- Adventures of Huck Finn (Cause Mark Twain is a freaking genius)
- The Iliad and the Odyssey (Know your roots)
- Catcher In The Rye (But only before you hit 18)
- Into the Wild (Once again, only before you're 18, although when you're older you'll only just stop shaving for a while)
- At least one Orwell Essay or Short Story (trust me)
- Any "A Very Short Introduction To...." (condensed knowledge for the intellectual on the go)
- Anything written by a non-American author
- Any book written by a comedic liberal
- Any book written by a conservative to counter the one before
- Any amateur magazine, story, or blog
- The U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence (no explanation needed)
