Finally! Someone actually put down Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side to the All American Meal! It’s sad what kind of unethical food people put into their mouths. This book is one of the reasons why meat is not found on my plate. Also, who thought that Walt Disney was that evil?

Catcher in the Rye: What can I say about a book who’s author (J. D. Salinger) lived in the woods as a hermit? If you think the world is “phoney”, you’ll identify with the main character.

I had to read Tuesdays with Morrie for my Organizational Behaviour class last year. I’m making all my loved ones read it. The book even made a guy cry. (Though my sister wanted me to point out that there is nothing wrong with that.) Enough said.

To all those people that have trouble with their grammar when posting up on this website, please read The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and with additions by E. B. White. I admit that I still haven’t finished the 105 pages though.

After reading through this whole post, I bought Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance today. I hope it lives up to what everyone says of it.

To Jeff (188): I think I’m going to read the book that you recommended, Shaking Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda. If you want to read more UN-bashing material, there is a book that recently came out that is written by three former et present UN workers. It details stories about miscommunication amongst the different levels of the UN organization, “intimate” liaisons between workers, and the ignorance of certain issues by UN leaders. Sorry, I can’t remember the title of the book…I haven’t even seen it on the bookshelves yet.

Happy reading!

Cheers,
