so i get made fun of for reading for fun on top of all of my bull**** school books, but i love finding books that change my life in a way-- that grant me alternative perspectives.
confessions of a single white female - megan russell
not really a book, rather a collection of various shorts, pictures, and artwork. i have the only copy in existence which makes it obviously quite rare and intensifies the experience exponentially.

i'm the same way. I highly recommend reading Moby Dick by Herman Melville and read it on the philisophical side. It really says a lot about ourselves and who we are. It tells why when we look at the stars, we feel something that we can't explain.
