Up Next - Neuromancer, Da Vinci Code, The Musketeers, Count of Monte Cristo; in whatever order.

That could have easily been shortened to "just be a loser and you too can read ~1750 books."

Teachers might also be interested in how to correctly spell interested... jackass. also, "tons of free time" translates to no friends. I've been reading college level since i was young (check out my college level penis) and I've not come close to ~500 books... and I like to read.

Chuck Palahniuk - Lulluby
Chuck Palahniuk - Diary
Mick Foley - Tietam Brown

There also a bunch in my Amazon recommendations, but I like to keep the "active" list short. That and I won't have as much time to read when I'm back at college.

I've recently read...

Mick Foley - Foley is Good (reread)
Philip K. Dick - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

I also tried reading Catcher in the Rye, but I should have done so a few years ago. It seems a bit too immature for my tastes.
