I recently got to meet Arun Gandhi through a speech and book signing at a local university. His latest book is an excellent read. It is called "Legacy of Love: My Education in the Path of Nonviolence". Check it out!

Holly...my sister saw Noam Chomsky speak recently. Almost makes me want to go to MIT.
I'll take a look at A Tale of Two Cities, Amanda.
Oh, and as far as books go. I found my long-lost copy of "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton yesterday. Upon rereading it, I have decided that it is tied with "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" as my favorite book. Ever. That book should be required reading for every middle-school student in the United States at least.

I LOVED The Outsiders - we read it as a class at school. Top film as well.

Yeah, the movie was great! I loved Emilio Estevez...although I can't remember whether he played Dallas or Two-Bit...dammit I need to see it again!

Outsiders is a great movie and film. :D Read it and saw it in 7th grade *ahh memories*
My fave books are varied:
I like Stephen King and Mary Higgins Clark, but also James Patterson and I reallly loved a book called This Lullaby that I read last summer, the same feelings for this one about the band side of more security after school shootings called "After." Currently I'm reading The Portrait of Dorian Grey. Next, I'll plan to read some Patterson or some more classic literature, I was given Dante for my b-day.
Deacon Fan, is Fountainhead really that brilliant? I was thinking about doing a scholarship essay possibility over it but I didn't have time to read it this year. I hope to next year! :)

Currently on the 3rd book in the Sword of Truth series and I love them all.
In the broad picture - Roald Dahl, George Orwell, and Douglas Adams are a few of my favourites. 'Back Roads' by Tawni O'Dell and 'Fall On Your Knees' by some other woman I can't remember the name of, are two of my favourite books.
