The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST???

IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

HERE’S ALL THE PDF VERSIONS I COULD FIND SINCE WE’RE ALL IN QUARANTINE AND WE CAN’T PHYSICALLY GET THE BOOKS WE DON’T HAVE

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Beloved

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (this was the only free version I could find, and it’s a downloadable thing, so do so with caution)

The Call of the Wild

Catch-22 (it was either this version or one where the entire thing was in comic sans font)

The Catcher in the Rye

Fahrenheit 451

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Gone With the Wind

The Grapes of Wrath

The Great Gatsby

Howl

In Cold Blood

Invisible Man

The Jungle (personally I don’t like this formatting, but the site doesn’t look sketchy so…) - there’s also this which is the proper book format in a pdf, but it’s directly photocopied so it might be hard to read some of the print

Leaves of Grass

Moby Dick

Native Son

Our Bodies, Ourselves (we learned about this one in APUSH!)

The Red Badge of Courage

The Scarlet Letter

COULD NOT FIND Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (the ebook is 47 fucking dollars??? and i can’t even find sketchy websites that’ll let me download a pdf. if anyone manages to find a link, lmk please)

Stranger in a Strange Land

A Streetcar Named Desire

Their Eyes Were Watching God

To Kill a Mockingbird

Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Where the Wild Things Are (this is a slideshow!!!! how fun)

COULD NOT FIND The Words of Cesar Chavez (however I did manage to download the first 71 pages of the book from EBSCO and I put it here but I couldn’t get the rest. sorry y’all)

I was so totally not aware that people didn’t know that being sorted into Houses was a real thing in UK schools. It’s not something made up just for the Harry Potter world, it’s a real schooling system, I was in the St George House at my school and everyone had the same attitude to Prefects as everyone in the HP world did to Percy Weasley I can assure you.

how do you get the hat to talk

2018 can make its exit now, please.

As if I wasn't confused before, my mother passes away August 19. The pain I feel has no words that will ever relate to the ache in my chest. I miss her hugs, her delicate hands, her piercing green eyes, her laugh. What did I do to deserve this kind of pain so young? 

I am realizing slowly that I am in a business and an industry that I never wanted to be involved with in the first place. I am overweight, not attractive, have so many health issues with no clue how to fix them or where to start. 

I am exhausted, depressed, sad, angry, melancholy, and I honestly would prefer to just fall asleep peacefully and never wake up. I do believe in God and I think and attempt to convince myself that everything is worth it, but I look around I don’t see a thing that I would be happy in my life. I am extremely hard to get along with. I don’t take care of myself. The only thing I know how to do is care for my kitty, Beetle, and to just get up every day and get items done. 

I don’t like what I do. I don’t like who I am. Life keeps pushing me over every time I get up and I am just over it. When is somebody going to cut me a break or save me from the mess I call my life?

23. Graduated College. No clue what to do. Same boat?

I honestly never pictured my life after 23. The stories I used to tell myself always stopped at 23, maybe 25 on the rare occasion, but I would imagine my life up to age 23 and just restart my story based on the imaginary timeline starting at whatever age I was at. I know it’s weird, I understand I’m not normal, but it is true.

My life goal has been to “graduate highscool, graduate college, take over family company”.

There was never the conversation about what I wanted for myself. If I had a choice, I may have went into three subjects degrees: Education (history), English (writing), or Psychology. What did I just graduate with? Entomology, the study of insects. I did this to take over the family company. I believe if I work hard I can be successful, but I was never given the option to choose my path. It was always written for me…up until now.

My mind tells me I’ve messed up and that I should have listened to my heart but my heart is acting like it doesn’t know what it wants either. I guess this really is the phase of creating new goals and revisiting ones that have been on the back burner for so long. Why am I so scared and nervous for this next chapter in my life? This is the first time I have ever felt unsure about my future…I always had a plan….what happened….
