I read this book primarily because I wanted to get Coates' take on Palestine. So I wasn't too sure I wanted to read the first two sections which are more about his reflections on his upbringing and where he's from.

However, I thought I'd start from th

Be Useful by Arnold Schwarzenegger

I listened to the audio book, which is read by Shwarzenegger himself, and his delivery of his own words is engaging and fun.

When I was in elementary school, I read versions of this story that were sanitized for younger audiences. When I read the original story as an adult, I was surprised by the amount of violence and sex.

Overall, the story is fine. Mainly what makes read

Although it's not quite as brilliant as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this is still a really fun read.

There was a television series made by BBC America based on this series, and it looked and felt nothing like how I imagined the story to be f

Read this book when I was about twelve or thirteen or so. Thought it was great then, and it still holds up. Hugely influential on my sense of comedy.

This could be a good book for a younger person to start out with. It's written in a way that's accessible for a younger audience, and the fundamentals of drawing have not changed.

There are aspects of this book that are definitely dated. The character
