    hello (and books and books and books)

    I'm a seventeen-year-old unschooler (and have been since I left the ninth grade half-way through). My daily life consists of reading, my job, reading, my friends, reading, volunteerism, and reading.

    My favorite books (of the moment) are Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. I'm also really into political writing (Common Sense, The Communist Manifesto, etc.)

    Hi Cien, welcome to Lit-Net.

    If you're into political writings, might I humbly suggest Emma Goldman?
    What is the use of a violent kind of delightfulness if there is no pleasure in not getting tired of it.
    - Gertrude Stein

    A washerwoman with her basket; a rook; a red-hot poker; th purples and grey-greens of flowers: some common feeling which held the whole together.
    - Virginia Woolf

    cuppajoe: I'll definitely read her stuff -- seems fascinating. Your not-a-blog here is also interesting.

    Niamh: Thanks!

    Adolescent09: How do you like being homeschooled?
