Of books and... more books!

These are some of the "boring" books many friends I know would definitely ignore in bookstores. But screw that crap because these babies made big shifts on me.

A little did-you-know-that:

George Orwell's 1984 is one of the most influential books of the 20th century. It is the root of all dystopian fictions we've been reading today (Divergent series, The Hunger Games series), and did you know that this book was the original basis of the reality show Big Brother? Yes, yes. Big Brother is the center idea of this book, too. Surveillance, control, dystopia.

Now, grab your copies of The Perks of Being A Wallflower. Read that little note at the left side. Yes, "... in the tradition of The Catcher in The Rye." You see, before Stephen Chbosky, we have J.D. Salinger and this book, The Catcher in The Rye. The character plays in par with Charlie.

We also have the badass Karl de Mesa, and his black shirt. That's non-fiction, by the way. But there are monsters and larger-than-life excerpts that will make you wear a black shirt, too.

Argh, To Kill A Mockingbird. Watched the movie of The Perks of Being A Wallflower? Yes, this was the book Mr. Anderson first introduced in his Freshman English class.

I decided to spend my time with these books, and I'm done with book series since I was left brokenhearted with the Divergent series (Roth really got me there, sh*t).
