oh books, sha la la... i'm a sucker for books.
essays. i love essays. philosophy + art + politics ... and nice stories.
ok, i have this thing with books: first i go to libraries or bookshops and read for hours and hours until i find something that i consider really good. then i go home and keep thinking "wow! this person is brilliant" until i finish the book. then, either i get more books from that person or i move into the next brilliant author and start thinking that the new one is a genius, while the one that i liked before wasn't that brilliant after all... until i get to read her/his stuff again.
"common" people who do things that make me realize we can actually CHANGE this fucked up system and make this a better world... sha la laaa ;)
