You know how every American reads the same few books in AP English? Big fan of those and similar! Currently reading 1984 by George Orwell and just finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. I also like newspaper strips such as Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, and Archie! I love poetry, and have a few of my own poems published in small collections under a pen-name <3
