My how the culture of todays society has dwindled down to pornography and drugs.
Its sad to say they have taken siddartha off the school reading list.
When I was in 10th grade that was my nerd obsession.
Anything buddhist, really.
Towing Jehova though, stellar book!
I felt like a race horse in a world without racetracks or a champion college footballer suddenly confronted by Wall Street and a business suit, his days of glory shrunk to a little gold cup on his mantel with a date engraved on it like a tombstone.

Am I the only one that hated Catcher in the Rye?
Anyway, for a really really funny read, try the Quirk Classics. So far they have Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibilities and Sea Monsters. They stay really true to the books, or as true as you can when you have zombies "eating cauliflower, which they has mistaken for stray brains" or Lady Dashwood fighing giant maneating lobsters.
