mysteriousss Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I love the classics.. Especially Russian. Shakespeare is my fave though Romeo & Juliet, King Lear, Othello, Hamlet.. I can read them a 1000 times and still love it. Russian - anything by Pushkin, Lermontov, Bulgakov, Strygatskie.. All the good stuff I loved Les Miserables, Faust.. Love everything by Jack London, Wells, Mark Twain, oh god there's more... I used to read much more when I was younger.. There's so much good stuff out there..Ooops, was supposed to pick 1.. I can never pick 1 favorite..[This message has been edited by mysteriousss (edited 01-26-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

""To some extent, of course, Salinger's reticence is understandable. I am not one whose adolescence was transformed by reading The Catcher in the Rye -- I thought the book was amusing, but its hero, Holden Caulfield, an idiot -- yet it has acquired a cult following in the half-century since it was published. Some of its most fervent fans are clearly unbalanced, and a surprising number of modern assassins -- John Hinckley, Mark David Chapman, Arthur Bremer, among others -- were found to have it in their possession""... the CIA maintained training camps for assassins at the time. 40 Whether Chapman ... toread his copy of The Catcher in the Rye when amazed New York City police ... ""like Mark Chapman and John Hinckley, kept copies of A Catcher in the Rye, and thatmany alleged assassins -- James Earl Ray, John Wilkes Booth, and Lee Harvey ...
