Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

I don't know if reading makes one smarter, but no doubt it increases your knowledge.

I'm currently reading:

"Islam and Revolution":  By Imam Khomeni-  Khomeni was the architect of the Islamic revolution that overthew the Shah's Western backed dictatorship in Iran.  In this book he discusses his thoughts on Islamic law and the establishment of an Islamic government.  There's one piece in particular where the Pope writes Khomeni a letter pleading with him to release American Embassy hostages in Iran, and Khomeni sharply responds educating the Pope for about 4 pages deep, like "Where were you when our people where being brutalized and tortured against the Shah?", and "Did you know that these hostages where spy's, conspiring against us for the purpose of maintaining Western interests", and "Shouldn't the Iranian people be able to decide the fate of the man who has oppressed our country for nearly 30 years?"  Very interesting read, although it's not easy to read because Khomeni does not speak English so his words had to be translated.

"Die Nigger Die"-  by H. Rap Browne-  This book was written by the man "rap" music was named after, H. Rap Browne.  He was a popular civil rights activist in the 50's and 60's, there is one piece in the book where he talks about "playing the dozens" as a youngster and he drops a rap (this was 50 years ago) that is iller than anything written today.  He was a leader of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and worked with the Black Panther Party.  This book however, doesn't describe the man he is today, after spending time in prison, around 1970 he converted to Islam, changed his name to Jamil Al Amin and has since written the book, "Revolution by the Book", which he says more closely portrays his current state of mind.

Hey, you never responded to that post; I wonder why.

By the way, reading might help you with the language, you know?... seeing that you can't spell worth shit.
Picking up the ball from inside his own half, the pint-sized Argentine skipped past challenge after challenge. Always appearing to be on the point of tumbling, he was miraculously able to retain his balance before rounding Peter Shilton and slotting the ball home for a goal manufactured in heaven.
