Books, books and, wait, more books

Well school is officially over, finished my final exam last night. Hopefully I scraped by, ha ha. For someone, who when in high school, could not stand being in a class or garner the interest to pay attention, I really enjoyed the entire university process. The courses I took were all really intriguing, so that helped i guess, but what has stuck with me, and seemed to float to the surface in every class, is the interconnectedness of all things. It solidified in my mind that even the simplest and smallest action(or non-action) can produced such wide ranging effects on seemingly unassociated people, places, and things. Thank you Haiti, hope is still there!
Well now that school is over I can concentrate on my outside reading. I have compiled my must read reading list for the summer, ha ha, hoping to curb any laziness that may arise due to no more school. And for all those who are dying to know what they are(hello? anyone there? ha ha) here they are:

Ideas: From Fire to Freud by Peter Watson
The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse
The Trial by Franz Kafka
The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James
The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce
The Castle by Franz Kafka

Plus I finally got my copy back of Of Mice and Men, thanks Nicky, so I also intend to read that again, ha ha, I love that story.
