I loved The Cather in the Rye! It seems strange to me that everyone who doesn't like seem to know tons of people who do, while I'm the only person I know (since we read it in class) who liked it at all, except for this one dork in my Biology class who picks his nose when he thinks no one's...
Detroit (suburbs):
Too warm for January. Lots of rain for the past two weeks (melting all the snow, if there was any in the first place). Previously bitter cold, but currently hovering around 35 degrees Fahrenheit. This is pathetic. How are supposed to get any more snow days with weather like...
Nectarines, of course!
If you could travel to any place in the world, (and you wouldn't lose your job or have to worry about expenses) where would you go?

My Top 5:
Matilda
Fantastic Mr. Fox

BoyI don't know about The BFG or The Twits because I don't remember the latter very well, and our library copy of the former was disgusting.:D
Top Ten (kind of)
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Catcher in the Rye

Enders Game
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (my first favorite book ever :D)No particular order--just the...
Thanks guys! A lot of this stuff is now on my to-be-read list (that is, if I ever get around to it.)
The Picture of Dorian Gray -- Wilde
The Shining -- King
Frankenstein -- Shelley
Dracula -- Stoker
Good for starters?
What books would you recommend at firsts for the authors you've...
I've never read anything by Barbara Vine, though I believe The Collector is on by to-be-read list.
You mean this??? You just highlight the world you want to create a link with, click on the little globe symbol with the chain in your toolbar, and enter the URL of the site in the pop-up box. Hope...
They're making a movie out of this?!?!
How could I not know about this?!?!
I loved it! It was smart and hypnotizing, and funny in a sadistic way. I like how everything ties together so well. The plotline is very flowing. :D
Indeed, you are correct, my friend. It's not so much the event that I find fascinating, but the concept. Imagine being hurt by someone repeatedly, but not caring because you love or respect them or feel sympathetic for them. I'm not saying it's necessarily a good or a bad thing, because it...
I loved Freakonomics, and it has very little to do with numbers (well, actually there are a lot of numbers involved, but they only enhance the reading experience, to put it cheesily). There's a lot of stuff revealed in the book that people haven't always through about or questioned before, but...
I'm kind of new to horror. What would be good starters for people who want a good scare but don't plan on wetting the bed or having delusionary nightmares on their first night after reading?
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle was the first book I ever read completely on my own. I LOVED it! I had the whole book memorized, as I remember now. It deserves a place on every child's bookshelf, between Harry the Dirty Dog and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
BTW, I watched Bend it like Beckham and it wasn't bad. But I must agree it's not exactly Bollywood (not exactly the typical Bollywoodian full-blown musical extravaganza complete with lip-syncing actresses in delectable silk saris and perfectly choreographed spontaneous group dances, is it? :D)
I'm a very picky reader, but have no specific genre I stick to, except I avoid contemporary fiction (I get enough of that in my own life). I'm really not that well-read, considering I'm only a freshman in high school, but I really like intellectual, multi-layered books, as well as books that...
What in the music world is starting to make your ears bleed?
As in:
-- songs/artists that are stuck in your head
-- songs/artists that are starting to get on your nerves
-- songs/artists that you just plain don't like
-- songs/artists that are offensive to you
-- etc.
I'm really starting to...
