Oh Hay!

I've been meaning to do a post like this, because I am woefully unread. The classics like Hamlet? Never read it. Macbeth? Forgot everything except "Out! Out damn spot" which I'm pretty sure isn't even quoted correctly. I don't even remember who she killed. I could even have the wrong play, seriously. So this is my 'I HAD MY EDUMACATION' post.

Recommend books or movies that I should read/watch because THEY ARE MORE AWESOME THAN THE SUN or because I'm stupid to not have been forced to read them in Highschool. Though I did like Lord of the Flies. I'm pretty much interested in anything, and because I'm a major pervert/weirdo, nothing is off-limits. I may have even read it before but my memory span is about as long as a gnat's.

So yeah. GO! GO! GO‼

Uuuaaa, you really are a book worm in real life XD But I figured SOMEONE had to be or else this post would be for nothing. D8

I'll probably get around to reading all of those eventually. I do love reading, but I've put it on the back burner [just like everything else] for RPing... 8D;;;
