Some of those books form the works and ideology of Japanese anime's. They are beautiful as guides on understanding or seeing different perspectives on life.
You mean, Japanese what?(didn't quite get you).

It is really beautiful. I have even searched on Google but no headway yet. If you have the name, you can kindly drop it. If I am going to have a library, the volumes is one of the books that would adorn the shelves. Isaac Newtons works was based on those classical literatures and studies.(Hence his statement of standing on the shoulders of giant)

I see. Are you a chemistry student? It appears you are in 2nd year too. What is the title of the course CSP 201? The Lord is your muscle.
I'm an Agric student. That is a borrowed course actually. The Course title is Introduction To General Agriculture.

I actually bought and I've still not gone beyond the first few pages.
Shakespeare has always done me in.
I grew up constantly reading "King James" bible, so it was a jolly ride reading Shakespeare. I loved the language. Even now, I still can't have enof of old English. When u read the conversations of Charles Charles Dickens' characters ehn, "the adventures of Tom sawyer, damn dopey!

Lord of the Flies is interesting... Although, i think the beginning is somehow technical.. I had to read it twice to get the full details..
Try "Tess of the d'urbervilles". Omo na Jamb make me read that book o! It was damn slow, but fine language man.

Anime.
They are like cartoons.
Only they are far better than any 99% of the best movies any American can make.
They incorporate ideology, strategy, philosophy, science. Music. They are master pieces.

They way the Japanese merge this works into their culture is shocking. I have learned more from this works about life than I ever learned in church or from my parents.

Ayn Rand's 1957 1168 page magnum opus titled Atlas Shrugged. Conquered it in the end and it did take me up a few notches.


Kudos to you bro.

She came highly recommended by someone I respect.

Bought The Fountain Head in 2014, or so, and it bored me to death.

Got to the middle and threw it away in protest.

Othello, I'm never reading any untranslated stories by Shakespeare, no more sick English. I tried Lord of the Flies too but dumped later.
hahahaahaha. i saw the book in my friend's room and took it. He saw it in my room later and didn't say anything. I asked him not see as a thief he laughed and said; "stealing it is the best thing you have ever done to me". I insisted he take his book back but he rejected. I can't finish a page
