No I haven’t read any of Jane Austen’s books. I might go to Stanford, UC Berkely, UCLA, Cal Poly, USC, MIT, Washington University, or San Diego State. I’ve read many great books against the theory of evolution, such as: In the Beginning, Doubts about Creation not After This, The Evolution Handbook, Darwin on Trial, In Six Days, and I’ve watched many videos by Dr. Kent Hovind against evolution.

I enjoy reading, so are there any books that should be on my “To do list”?

Thank you Jakob S. You certainly have a lot of great literature under your belt, (not Harry Potter, that’s not great literature.)

What have you read against the theory of evolution?
What University will you attend?
No Austen?

Well, since you asked Ann, I’ll respond. I have read most of Alexander Dumas’ writings, Victor Hugo’s writings, Jules Verne’s writings, Mark Twain’s writings, and William Shakespeare’s writings. I’ve read all the Harry Potter sequences, I’ve read the Holy Bible numerous times, I’ve read many great astronomical books written by Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton. I’ve read many great philosophy books like Sophie’s World and the Irrational Man. I’ve read many history novels such as A World Lit Only by Fire. I’ve read many books regarding the argument for and against the theory of evolution. As for the last 2 years, I’ve spent a great deal of time studying and actually reading Math books. What I mean by that is that I would open the textbook for a certain class, and just read it as a novel, understanding everything in great detail. Now I am actually planning on challenging a few courses at my University, even though I’m still in High School.

Oh my, Jakob, you are only 16? What other great books have you read?

War and Peace is actually the best novel I’ve ever read in my life. I enjoyed the movie as well. I read the book when I was only 10 years old, and the book blew my mind away. I was amazed at the way Leo Tolstoy expressed Russia’s history in a novel. Now I am 16 years old, and I have read many other great novels since, but War and Peace has no comparison. I guess that’s why they call it The Greatest Novel Ever Written.

PS. I plan on reading it again maybe in the Summer of 2010.
