<p>^ I want to know a list of the people who read that book all the way through…I won’t be on that list…</p>
<p>^ I’ve actually read it. The story line is pretty good (albeit sappy at times :b ), but his discourse on history gets a bit dry. I was never able to get myself to read Anna Karenina</p>
<p>^lol I have problems getting myself to read any book about people with emotional issues.</p>
<p>Buzukhov becomes pretty cool if that’s what you mean. With everyone except like 3 people dying, however, that kind of characterizes it</p>
<p>Captain Underpants.</p>
<p>War and Peace is easy if you read it one word per day.</p>
<p>^That would actually be extremely hard to piece it all together in your mind</p>
<p>I’ll lessen my list to those who read it in six months or less then.</p>
<p>The Aims of Education Addresses book from The University of Chicago.</p>
<p>read the Iliad in Greek with the book kinda bended and “worn out”. Any classic literature will make you seem smart.</p>
<p>Also
ULYSSES
THE GREAT GATSBY
LOLITA in Russian</p>
<p>You will make anyone think your smart.</p>
<p>^^ lol yeah. I never really had any desire to read that :b I guess that’s why I’m not going to U of C</p>
<p>^ I don’t think the Great Gatsby is as much a sign of intelligence as just a cultural expression of the 1920’s, like the Canterbury Tales of its day. I might take it off in favor of “In Search of Lost Time” by Marcel Proust</p>
<p>Readings on Dialectical Metaphysics is always a good bet.</p>
<p>^ Would that be like medieval Albertus Magnus, Duns Scotus type stuff? I’ve been wondering whether I should get an English translation of Erasmus, or just take years to learn Latin so that I can get it’s full value.</p>
<p>Actually any Joyce will do. Or Steinbeck. Or someone with a Russian name, Greek name, French name, or Scandinavian name.</p>
<p>Reading Gatsby doesn’t make you look smart, because who hasn’t read it already?</p>
<p>^ lol I hate Steinbeck. The rest is true though. Kierkegaaaaaaaaaard</p>
<p>Harry potter</p>
<p>General Theory of Employment, Interest & Money by Keynes, people will admire your sheer awesomeness.</p>
<p>I’ll be impressed if someone in my school is reading “Mechanics: From Newton’s Laws to Deterministic Chaos” by Florian Scheck and the bookmark is past the middle point.</p>
<p>I put The Great Gasby cause its a great book, but yea many people have read it.</p>
<p>Non linear partial differential topology analysis.</p>
