I'm starting to make a summer reading list and I'd like to read some of the classics that are actually interesting/moving. I really loved anything Salinger, so, does anyone have any suggestions?

"Not Ready"
************************

I was ready,
ready to take you on.
Your shouts of pure frustration,
and verbal abuse.
Waiting for them to attack me,
I already knew what to expect.
My stance was strong,
as I awaited the screaming,
and vociferation,
I was ready.

I was ready,
ready to argue,
and fight through quarrels.
I cleared my throat,
so my voice could be vocal and crisp.
Later though,
my throat would become scratchy,
for there's only so much yelping I can do.
I await the bickering,
I was ready.

I was ready,
ready for your blows of madness.
Your swinging arms,
and fierce hands.
Your lashing out legs,
with your held-tight fists.
For the way you don't falter,
I was ready.

I was ready,
ready to annihilate you.
To defend my frail body,
from your wicked ways.
Protect myself from your hostile movements,
and your assassinations.
Guard my life with all my might,
to keep me safe from you,
I was ready.

I was ready,
but I can't do it anymore,
I can’t proceed.
Too weak and fragile to argue,
I’m afraid I’ll break if I continue.
Don’t want to waste away,
as I break away.
So you win,
I was ready,
but now I’m not.

I think a lot of bad incidents could have been prevented if guns are made illegal to be held by public. Why don't people understand?

As an atheist I want you to know we have no evidence god does not exist. But then again we have no evidence George Bush is not in fact god.

Although perhaps more modest than some George Bush could be a closet creator.

Basically Christian god and Muslim god told us they created the world. Why should we take their word for it?

I would rather have a god who doesn't tell us he created us and how to live our lives. And if he were to judge us he would do so without interfence in our earthly lives. Someone like perhaps George Bush.

Live your life however you see fit. If there is a god he should judge you on that.

It's a short story, I don't know if it's more suspense or what. I have the characters, the background, but I can't fit it all together in a way I like or that's been done.

I'm looking for novels based upon eating disorders. I don't want to sound picky but I would like it to be more of a story than a non-fiction book. I have one really good book, Perfect, by Natasha Friend. I'm just looking for similar books where I can connect to the character. I am bulimic,so...... Anyway, Thank you for reading and answering!!!!!!! God Bless!!!

Why is it Canada has days (or holidays) set aside to commemorate World War 1? I also see other countries also commemorate theirs from the first world war. The USA has almost FORGOTTEN this conflict.except for memorial day. 1) How many fronts were there? 2) Who were the allies of the USA. Which countries were fighting who? 3)Which country and who was the main antagonist (there was no Hitler or Japan)? I saw a movie last week from the 1960s called "The Blue Max" about the elite German pilots of WW1 but could not figure who was on who's side. Who's side was Germany on? Thanks

Would the intelligent alien animals have souls? What about the dumb ones? Would alien animal cruelty be immoral? What about ones that seem to experience emotions, sadness, pleasure, pain...?
