I just recently read To Kill A Mockingbird for the first time. Such a great American classic story. There are so many books I haven't read yet, so little time.

Also, Watership Down is one of the best books I've ever read. I re-read it about every 3 or 4 years, and it is equally moving each time. It's embarrassing though, in a way. A silly story about some screwy wabbits shouldn't contain the power to make a middle-aged guy cry like a baby.
 
1. Holy Bible
2. Homer Odyssee
3. Plato State
4. Dante Divine Comedy
5. Shakespeares Hamlet
6. The Essays of Montaigne
7. Goethe Faust
8. Servantes Don Quichote
9. Dostoevski Brother Karamazov
10. Dickens Oliver Twist

Here are my favorits.
 
**** is a book that everyone should read especially women. Men should read it as well to better understand women.

Well this is a hell of a thing I can't get the title of the book through the filter. If you want to know ask.

c-word, f-word or s-word?

Those are the only one's that get filtered.

I'm guessing the big c, myself.
 
I hate the Koran.

It is like a tree that keeps getting hit by lighting, over and over again.

The same ****ing tree!

No wonder most Muslims are like Charlie when he found out Algernon's flowers died.

Allah is so ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Allah is great and Mohammed is Mohammed's, oops, sorry Allah’s messenger.

I get it, but why did Mohammed's, oops, Allah's, ego take so many pages to repeat such a monotonous idea?

And why did the ‘religion of peace' kill so many people in order to spread?

Just wondering and all.
