It's a beautiful day, City. Make the most of it.

I need your advice. I'm looking for something to read, something that isn't poetry. Knowing I can't just makes me want to read more! Anything, really. Novels or essays or, I don't even know, so long as you like it.

Call it a change in perspective.

There are a hundred thousand lines that'd suit today and I can't remember one. Still. It's a small price to pay.

No poetry today, Neil?

[had_not_lived]

A little hard to believe, isn't it?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

A bit unexpected, certainly. What inspired that decision, may I ask?

[undoing.livejournal.com]

Can you only read English?

[had_not_lived]

Well, English and a little Latin, though I'm not... can you really be fluent in a language that nobody speaks anymore?

[kicksmoreass.livejournal.com]

Do you ever read comic books?

[had_not_lived]

Some, sure, though not a lot. I wouldn't mind if you had any to suggest.

There are better ways to spend a gorgeous day than sleeping!

Sun Tzu.

2/2 forgot!

[neverplay]

Oh, and comic books. Do you like those?

I'm guessing chick lit isn't what you're looking for, right?

Hmmm. Maybe Doctorow? Like... Ragtime to start, I think.

[had_not_lived]

Chick lit?

Is that about music?

[thenormalsquint]

Try Bred in the Bone.

[had_not_lived]

What's it about?

Have you read the Arabian Nights? I was read the French translation, but I am sure there is an English one available here.

Some of it, when I was younger. I don't remember seeing it in the store but maybe at the Library...

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Anything by Vonnegut. Cat's Cradle, maybe.

Or you could read Sun Tzu's The Art of War like that girl recommended. I doubt it would interest you.

[had_not_lived]

It doesn't sound like it would... I'm not sure I'd want to read anything about war. I'll look up the other, though. What's it about?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Even textbooks?

[had_not_lived]

Well, if you had an interesting one, I guess. But it'd have to be a really interesting textbook, probably.

A change in perspective, hmm? Well, that's an opportunity for growth.

[had_not_lived]

I try to look at it that way.

[shiningdown.livejournal.com]

Did you get any promising recommendations?

voice[ nooooo worries bb! <3 <3 <3

[had_not_lived]

A couple! I haven't had a chance to look up everything they've suggested but I'm sure I can find enough to last a couple of weeks.
