So in honour of it being World Space Week 
I'm going to be starting with the thing I've been
reading the most, and is space related, which is...
The Cosmic Perspective! Because I have a midterm tomorrow.
It's also Cinnamon Roll Day, but... it didn't really relate to the theme.
So I'm going to be talking about the books that I liked
between grade 12 and now, and I'm going to 
 begin with another somewhat school-related book, which is...
Fight Club!
I actually wrote about Fight Club for my Extended Essay for IB,
I know the book pretty much inside and out. This book has been
a lot of places with me. I wrote my first draft 
 of my Extended Essay while I was camping, so
it's been to the beach with me, and it's fallen in the campfire, 
 and it's just had all sorts of terrible things happen to it.
Most recently, I killed a spider with it. I survived higher level 
 English by just carrying it around with me and looking busy.
If you haven't read it - and I don't know why you wouldn't 
 have read it, because it's Fight Club - get to that.
Which leads into my favourite author - well, one 
 of my favourite authors - Chuck Palahniuk, 
who wrote Fight Club. He also has written a ton of books, 
 Invisible Monsters, Choke, Lullaby... You name it, they're all fantastic.
His writing has a tendency to be a bit dark, and that's one of the things I 
 love about it. It's also one of the reasons that I like Stephen King so much.
Another book I like is A Wrinkle in Time.
The first time I read it I had 
 to have been about 8 years old,
and it's still good, even reading it now, as a 19-year-old.
Third in my list of books is the Millennium Trilogy.
I'm not quite sure where my copy of Girl With the Dragon 
 Tattoo. It's probably at home, with the rest of my books.
Like Kyra, I live in residence, so I couldn't just bring them all.
Though I tried.
The last book in my list is The Hitchhiker's 
 Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
I like Hitchhiker's Guide for so many reasons. Aside from the 
 fact that it is incredibly funny, and so quotable,
I like Hitchhiker's Guide for so many reasons. Aside from the 
 fact that it is incredibly funny, and so quotable,
it's one of those books that you just have 
 to read at some point in your life
So, if nothing else on this list, read this one.
That about covers my 4 favourite books from the last two years. Some 
 of my overall favourites that I didn't get to mention were
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice,
I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert,
Another favourite of mine is Jurassic Park. I'm kind of amazed that 
 I didn't discuss Michael Crichton at all in this video.
So I'm just going to put it out there now, that I 
 really love him, but I didn't have time to mention him.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lord of the Rings, The Stand, Peter's Spier's Christmas...
I should really stop talking. Sarah, I will see you on Wednesday.
