Hey guys, I'm new to /lit/. Basically, after being a dumb piece of shit for months I decided I don't want to be a fucking dumb piece of shit. I'm studying for the law school exam, I need an interesting book that will help me look forward and stay motivated. A friend of mine I admire told me to read Nietzche and dump self-help bullshit, is he right? Anyways I'm just looking for an interesting read while studying, it could be a fiction book. He also told me to uninstall every videogame and just exercise, study and read until the day of my exam and that after that I will not go back. That sounds good but isn't that too much? My mum gave me 1984 and Animal Farm, I'm enjoying them, if that helps. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.

Video games wise cut down, one hour for each hour you spend reading (if that is too difficult spent one hour being productive/bettering yourself e.g. exercise or tidying your damn room).
Interesting entry level literature (note the use literature as opposed to books) include many of the works of the great American novelists such as Hemingway (Men without women is an easy introduction), Steinbeck et al.
Since you're enjoying Orwell you may enjoy Brave New World (Huxley) or maybe A Clockwork Orange (Burgess). The latter is slightly more different due to the dialect the author uses but the Penguin edition includes a useful glossary in the appendix.
Hope this helped, don't expect anything productive from this place other than

Seems to me like you're standing between me and millions of dollars, and I'm only waiting for you to slip. Just a little.
