| Anything Stephen King is really good. Bill Bryson's "A Walk in The Woods" is pretty funny and interesting, imo. It's about him and a friend walking up the Appalachian Trail, their experiences, and the interesting characters they meet. Pretty great book so far. Idk, what are you into? I'm a big reader so I can probably point you in a good direction, just hmu  |

Oh ok cause I tend to read them when I can. Need to find another volume of one of the series I read since I am so outdated and my school doesn't carry the latest ones. |

Love RHCP. I'll have to check that out in addition to the one about Rodney Mullen. Also, I had to read animal farm in 11th grade. Hated that shit 100%. Not a fan at all. |

Right now I'm reading "The Origins of Political Order" by Francis Fukuyama. It's a 584 book about the origins of government and political order xP
But you know what else I read regularly? the Fingerboarder Magazines!!! XD |
