Answer 2

God says, sweetheart, reading is for people who dont' have a life. You need to stop with the books, and trust in the looks. Get out there, shake it like a salt shaker and enjoy the nightlife a little more! If you need company just shout!

Answer 3

Anything by CS Lewis or JRR Tolkein will be good. I especially liked Lewis' "The Four Loves" and his sci-fi series "Perelandra" and "Out of the Silent Planet".

The Harry Potter series is ok, but not very challenging reading, IMHO.

"DO IT ! Let's Get Off Our Buts A Guide To Living Your Dreams by John-Roger & Peter McWilliams. 1991 Prelude Press, Inc. Los Angeles.

Answer 6
