Ehh, I don't know, have some books?

Anything Ray Bradbury if you like depression and deep thinking
- Such as The Red Pony, A Sound of Thunder, etc.

Garth Stein (The Art of Racing in the Rain) -A beautiful book worth reading, sad, not too hard of a read

Sun Tzu's The Art of War -A lovely book that applies to regular life and the simple wars of existence- social or otherwise

“Nature”— An essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, probably a harder read, but even taking a glance at this one for the sake of it might prove to be beneficial. I recommend reading it just for fun, to see the odd yet vivid imagery, and not worry too much about deeper meaning the first time around. Trust me, if this comes up in school, you’ll want to read it for fun first before it’s ruined for you. (It’s very interesting when not scrutinizing over every small detail!)

Don Quixote— On the more entertaining side, this work of fiction follows a crazy noble who sees the world in a different light than everyone else. I won’t spoil much, but I’ve been to the Don Quixote windmills in Spain, and if you ever get to go, I do recommend it! (He tries to fight the windmills in the book— he thinks they’re giants!)

Other Authors, Scholars, and Historical Figures to look into—

Edgar Allan Poe — Any of his poems, though Nevermore is often the first to be read.

Shakespeare — Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, all to be over-analyzed forever, have fun!

Jane Austen — Pride and Prejudice is probably a good place to start

Charlotte Perkins Gilman — The Yellow Wallpaper was revolutionary for the medical field and the treatment of women! (See also: Henrietta Lacks)

John Locke — History class will favor the student who knows Locke

Montesquieu — ^^Same to be said for this Frenchman


Activists to look into: Stokely Charmichael, Malcolm X, Henry David Thoreau
