On my way

If you've read my earlier post, I'm trying to enhance my social skills. One thing I'm starting to do is read. Hopefully, this will help a number of aspects of my social life.

The first book I completed, Into The Wild, was written by John Krakauer. A book that I would recommend to anyone. It's about a free spirit who follows his dream of going off to live in the wild of Alaska.

This book has been great for me socially. I've already run into people who have read it, and it's giving me something to discuss with them, instead of being so quiet. It also leads the conversation into other topics.

The next book that I've started reading is The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. I'm not so sure that this will help me at all, but it seems interesting. You know, this might just set me back a few steps with all the hippy lingo. I've had to go back over parts, because I had no clue what the fuck it was saying. I've thought about reading it high, thinking that maybe everything will just make perfect sense then.

If you have any opinions on either of these books, let me hear them. Or like I said in different post, recommend a book to me and maybe I'll try reading it.
