well you lucky dog you lucky dog you dog.

good for your teacher. put him/her in your will.

then yeah i'd said check out crusoe and treasure island! and no it's not long DONG silver! ha ha ha ha!

on the subject of juvenile stuff i also recommend jules verne-- voyage to the center of the earth is being made into a movie actually so it would be nice if you get the original story. and then 20,000 leagues under the sea and the mysterious island and around the world in 80 days and from the earth to the moon-- all classics of the imagination and pioneers of science fiction. he wrote a shitload of books though, not all so famous, but these i think are like suppa-classix. michel strogoff was cool too, today it probably reads a bit racist ha haha.

anyway many of these books can probably be found under dover thrift editions for $1 or $2 new-- the print isn't the best but the price is right.

good summer reading, i mean-- if you like anime and comic books and shit like that (i do) these books should be perfectly fine entertainment.
