Position:Home>Books & Authors> Will these BOOKS make me WELL READ?

There's one thing for sure, friendo, and that's the fact that you'll become well read and very literate!. No matter what, your writing will change into the better, and your mind will be more active because of the fact that you've absorbed from those books!. It's going to take a lot of time and patience (you HAVE to have patience to read), but the end result will be worth it!. Sounds like a good variety!. Kudos to you for having Tucker Max's "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" on the list!. also, Tim Russert's book that's filled with a collection of letters from sons and daughters about their fathers is an excellent read as well!. "Everything They Had" by David Halberstam -- I just got that in the mail the other day, but I haven't had a chance to delve into it, though I will (looks great)!. Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman will probably open up a gap in your mind -- it's witty, yet makes you expand your thoughts!.

Overall, a great selection!. Yes, you will acquire a decent sense of knowledge by the end of the summer!. Trust me!.

And have fun reading!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They're all good books that will open your eyes about different things!. Although there's not a true definition of "knowledge", in yours (and probably mine) it will expand your mind and henceforth your knowledge!. Keep reading!.

also, in order to expand your knowledge you must understand these books so give yourself a few days between books so you can really let them sink in!.

That is an interesting mix!. But to be truly "well-read" you need to mix it up even more!. Read a wider range, concentrate on the "classics", throw in a lot of non-fiction, even read genres you wouldn't normally be attracted to: Romance, Sci-Fi, etc!.!.!.

also, you might check out this book to help your reading speed:

Well, I definitely think your reading speed will increase if you read all those books, and I think it's a great goal to plan to read so many!.

But "well-read" would mean that you are gleaning knowledge from the books you read!. To be well-read, you need to read classics (and throw in some of your juvenile fiction, too, of course!)!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I don't know!. Those are just a certain set of books, I don't know if they will help you reach a new height of reading speed as well as your overall knowledge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Read some Jane Austen!.!.!.or even better, George Orwell!. If you can keep up with Orwell, you can keep up with anyone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's not only the books, it's how you react to them as well!.

In my opinion you need a bigger library!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You copied that question from someone else!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should throw some Classic Literature in there!.
A lot of them are pretty hard reads, but the thing about Lit Books is they will always have something beyond the texts, symbols, as well as several other literary devices!. If you educate yourself well with each book, you will get better at identifying these devices and become a much better reader and analyzer, something that will help you out greatly in college!.
Some of my favorites are
-The Stranger by Camus and The Catcher in the Rye by Salinger (Both really easy reads, but have A LOT behind the text, especially the former, which deals with existentialism and absurdity)
-Invisible Man by Ellison
Frankenstein by Shelley
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Wilde
