I
found a site
that has famous
authors and the literature they wrote, on-line to read. These are the
ones
I thought you might like to read. Many adults have never read these and
they have missed out on word treasures that I hope you will find
enriching.
Many of these are part of school classes and some are not. These are
worth
reading no matter what age you are. I picked the ones that weren't TOO
serious, with famous stories you may have heard of, or seen as movies
on
TV.
The Midnight
Ride Of Paul Revere
is very good. And. you will be amazed how many
titles
you know that
are from Rudyard Kipling. The purple list on the left are famous
authors
thought by MOST people to be the world's best stories. I found these to
be the most fun too, which is why I chose to pick them for you.
Most people feel
that reading these
books gave them insights to lives, emotions, worlds, and experiences
they
are very glad they visited, that they probably would never experience
themselves,
without the magic the author created. Reading these stories made me
feel
like I went on trips and journeys I could never experience on my own,
but
by reading carefully, feeling the magic the author created, I made
those
journeys.
I particularly
like Robert Frost,
who was our National Poet Laureate.
The Road Not
Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the
other, as just as
fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that
morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be
telling
this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. The day I learned magic
is
also the day I
was given a Bible to read, by a stranger, who was waiting with me for
the
library to open. As I said, I was six years old. It was Summer, a sunny
Saturday morning, and my parents were still asleep. The evening before
I had seen "Lost Horizon" on the Late Show (I often crept down
stairs at 1:00am and watched TV after my parents had gone to bed.) I
had
wanted to learn how to fly and how to turn invisible and I realized
that
the Ancient Knowledge was probably at the Library in books.
My mother had
taken me to the Library
the week before and gotten me a Library card. So, this Saturday morning
whiile my parents slept I took a bus to the Library by myself. A man
was
waiting with me for it to open. When he asked why I was there, and I
told
him, he pulled a small black Bible out of his pocket, gave it to me,
and
said, "You should read this too." And I did. No matter what one
thinks about it's validity, you have to admit is is an amazing story,
and
one of the oldest. That makes it worth reading in itself.
It is the history of the past 5000 years.
I have read about
all the religions
and philosophies. I recommend you do that too, and read the classics.
By
the time I was 14 years old I had read Shakespeare, Charles Dickens,
Mark
Twain, and others. I took out 6 to 10 books a month from the library
for
many years. I took buses to libraries all over Philadelphia when I was
young. All you have to do is click on an author and read their best,
right
here.
All the libraries
in Seattle have
scheduled me doing magic, and I have performed at most of the schools
in
the Seattle/Puget Sound area of Washington state in the elementary,
middle,
high schools, and colleges. I have also performed for many child care
centers.
I also give employees of many companies a motivational talk called "How
To Accomplish The Impossible." All of this centers around the use
of one's mind. |
