Books to Read

I feel as though the tube has controlled my life for too long, I feel the screen writers are molding my life into a melting pot of mediocrity and conformity, I feel I need to regain my position at the top of my life ladder. The elimination of the television from my to-do lists, I will finally see with unclouded eyes. Let the words of written literature shape my opinions, my ideas, and my life. No longer will I be a slave to the corporate advertisements, and will be able to see art. I am compiling a list of books to read, the intent is to broaden my knowledge, and to think through the fog society casts down upon the world. Here are 10 books, I will begin with Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
