Been listening to Meek Mill a lot lately, about through all his mixtapes. He's good, real amped style. Good for **** like league.

Found a website where you can download a lot of ebooks for free.

www.tuebl.com

Finished Stranger in a strange land, it was excellent(have a physical copy). I downloaded Starship Troopers also by Robert Heinlen, the Rama/2001 space Odyssey series by Arthur C. Clarke and a lot of Michael Crichton.

Oh yea, Fahrenheit 451 to reread, I don't remember what the hype was about.

they are all very good. my personal favorites are galapagos, cats cradle and welcome to the monkey house (short stories). hes actually the only author who i actually own almost every book of, i have all those as well as breakfast of champions, the sirens of titan and slaughterhouse five. i have read every single one of his books and i can say that you cant really go wrong with any of them. except palm sunday, that one is meh.

of course there is the obligatory slaughterhouse five which most people consider a classic/his best work, but those are my recommendations.

They had Slaughterhouse 5, cat's cradle, monkey house and breakfast of champions, so I dl'd them. As well as timescape.

Good, I like short stories, and also Vonnegut's surreal style. Gonna help with my insomnia.

yes i could honestly reread his books over and over. i started reading his books in like high school and i instantly fell in love with everything about his writing. his dark humor, the way he tells stories, the worlds and ideas he creates (everything about bokononism is win), etc. i also really enjoyed reading spy/mystery novels like stuff by clive cussler (read a bunch of dirk pitt stuff) back in the day too.

i would start with slaughterhouse 5. its not as strange as some his other books and it makes it really easy to get used to his style of writing, because i would call it fairly unique.

I was gonna read Under the Dome by Stephen King after I'm done with Rama: Revealed, but now you've got me intrigued. Gonna read Slaughterhouse 5 after R:R now.

it is just me or does using "yolo" for everyday mundane things cause it to lose its meaning?

maybe it should be saved for major things, like once in a lifetime things or my life could end if i did this type things


like "going streaking in front of the queen at the opening ceremony, yolo!!!!"

went around the u of m campus this weekend and we were driving down what appeared to be "frat row" and there were about five people sitting on a porch of a house drinking in the aftermath of what appeared to be one heck of a party

couple tables set up on the front lawn, at least a couple hundred cans, bottles, cups lying around, few empty cases, and then we see a similar sight right across the street!

i'm going into a whole new world i think
