Books. Read more books.

I have to be honest, I think I’m an idiot.

For the longest time I’ve just felt really small, insignificant and stupid because the only media I have any emotional investment in are music and television. The kicker is that I’m far from an expert on either of those two.

That, and I just fell out of favor of reading books (or, because of financial constraints, I just haven’t bought any in a long time) so today I’m taking advantage of my day off from work to go down to the library and pick up some books.

Here’s my current bucket list of books, let me know if you think something is missing:
