Hell yeah for dude at 1:17 recommending Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree.
That’s a great, easy read.
If you want something relatively easy to digest, yet still fairly profound, Kurt Vonnegut might work for ya.
If you’re ready for the more advanced stuff- try either Don Quixote (by Cervantes), or Laurence Stern’s The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.
Sterne would be better, if only because his is originally in English- but if you try it, bring patience and a sense of humor.
That was a cool vid.
of course Dostoyevsky “crime and punishment”,but thats my type
I’m going to check Dan Brown and Stephen Hawkings book out. Interesting stuff.
Hey you should check out my channel soon. I am starting a book review channel.
How the fuck do you get by in life if you capitalise every fucking word?

Woah for a minute there, when he said Stephen Hawkings, i thought I head him say Ethan Hawk (the actor)…sorry, I was kinda absorbed in drawing out the bone cell for A.P Bio that I tuned in on the wrong time. ^_^
I Get Your Feeling Now. You Should Combined Both Of Them That’s How I’m Doing.
Capitalization ? I Started Writing Like This Since I Was 12. Never Changed Since Then.
Because I spent too much time reading when I was young, and I should have been doing things you can best do when you are young. What Is It With The Capitalization?
Well If You Are That Qualified Why Do You Tell To A Young Man Not To Read ?
The Best Exercise For The Brain Is Reading.
You Seem To Be An Angry And Hateful Person.
I Guess I Think I Know About Books Because I Have A B.S. In Physics And A J.D. Degree. Does That Get Me Any Credibility? Probably Not With You. I’ve Also Played The Violin Professionally For Sammy Davis, Jr.
What Do You Know About Books ? Go Watch Some Baseball And Don’t Forget The Hamburger.

The Divine Comedy Is Amazing.
I highly recommend reading “Old World Secrets: The Omega Code Projects” by Brandon Levon. A very insightful book which reveals the truth about the foundations of society and religion. For more info. type the title of the book into a search engine. At approx. the second site down an individual should discover a site called abovetopsecret. The author discusses the contents of his book.
OMG!
huge amount of books! most of them religious, quite difficult to find here in Barcelona,this kind of book is not pretty popular.
I do recommend “King Edip” and “Antigona” by Sofocles. You might know. Discussion about if fate really exist and if you can hide from it.
See ya
The Martian Chronicles and Cat’s Cradle are two of my favorite books.
The Martian Chronicles is a very good book, I read that a few years ago (I think it was in 8th grade). A very good read.
I envy you for living in Califonia! I hope you don’t spend all your time reading inside. You’re young! Have some fun (other than the fun of reading books!
i really like your taste in books! that god gene sounds very intriguing! i like dan brown too. and i love science fiction. i love how you are into all those books about god and the bible and history and stuff, i really am too. i’d really like to read the gospel of judas. what kind of stuff is in it?
oh yea, rub it in why dont you. >.>
we need some sort of youtube book club. XD
Misquoting Jesus is a very very good book.
Excellent recomendations!
Great book recommendations! I’ll have to check some of those out.
never heard of ‘the world is flat’. -_- but i was pretty close to buying ‘universe in a nutshell’, i could decide if i wanted it or ‘The Earth: An Intimate History’ by Fortey. ended up getting neither though; I’ll finish ‘the ancestors tale’ first. Oh and your lucky to get ‘misquoting Jesus’; I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy for awhile now, none of my local libraries have it. may have to buy it.
