I read "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell, it was amazing. It's non-fiction, but it's still great. It tells different success stories, and... just a lot of things. It was really really good

You might want to look into those free online courses from Yale Berkeley. Some of the reading material can be found online.

I completely agree with him!
That mook is great!

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is REALLY good too!
A really easy, but good read is Grayson by Lynne Cox.

I've been wanting to read that for a while but never got around to doing so. I heard that "Blink", also by Malcolm Gladwell, is a great book too. Both of them are on my list of books to read .

I say go read Double Your Dating by David DeAngelo, that way you'll find girls and go out on dates or whatever instead of asking for advice on "good books" in an internet forum.

oh, and if you're a girl...


Hey, my name is juang, how are you?

Are you single, pretty, funny, smart, without kids, and willing to support me financially?
