Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... -

*shrugs* Most of these I read during my undergraduate university education. Some I did on my own (like Freud and Nietzsche) but most were for courses.Originally posted by SpencerH

The Hardy Boys is a really gay name. Conservatives should be angered and pushing for a name more in line with modern conservative values - the Lardy Boys perhaps?Originally posted by Agathon

Yup. Hardy Boys help you look for things out of the ordinary and put disparate facts together to discover the unknown. Plus, they helped hone my reading ability. Never read any HQ romanaces.Originally posted by Agathon

I can't think of any smartification books off the top of my head, except for a big ass collection of Ray Bradbury short stories and a big ass collection of Harlan Ellison short stories. Too many smartifying books include far too much jackoffery for my tastes, so I tend to avoid them.
I'm currently reading The White Boy Shuffle on the recommendation of one of my friends -- I'll report back if it makes me smarter.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures
