Okay, didn't have any luck with Song of Solomon.. sooooo.. has anyone read THIS book before? It's about two black girls growing up in Ohio, in a town called Bottom that is way up in the hills. It follows the life of both girls and their families, how one grew to accept settling down is the way to go, while the other could not settle down. She travels the world, fucks many men, does a lot of shit, all to leave her mark on the world. When she returns to see her friend, who has settled down, she notices that a lot of things have changed. etc. etc.
Great novel, really short (less than 200 pages), check it out.

No, I am only trying to get you fuckers to read a good book. Seems like the only shit you read on here is Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, and other shit that everyone's already read.

Wait lemme guess - in the end, the travelgirl notices that OMG I DIDNT NEED TO TRAVEL ALL I HAVE TO DO IS MARRY AND REPRODUCE FAMILY IS HAPPINESS - am i right?
Because everyone knows literary classics suck and shouldn't be read because they're ZOMG MAINSTREAM POPULAR.

False. Even after her travels, she still feels that leaving your mark on the world is more important than sitting at home, settling down, and waiting to die. She remains arrogant 'till the end. >>5
I see no problem with reading "literary classics" as long as you read other things along with it. But this isn't the case. gtfo

Unless you're a supergenius, the best way to leave your mark is to reproduce. After all, that's why we exist.

Yea, well, she goes on about how she LIVED her life. She can say that she did something with her life while her friend chose to settle down and have a family. It's just how her character is.
