I have an American College Dictionary that I use frequently. On the web, I use Dictionary.com. :rolleyes: Have you ever seen a play or a live musical? What is the most recent one you have seen?

***SPOILERS*** Hi Gem! Thanks for the reply. Regarding the characters, what I meant when I stated that they changed was that they reversed in their reliability as narrators. Earlier on in the book, Vardaman was hysterical, claiming that Addie was a fish and she was killed by Peabody. Dewey...

I forgot to add spoiler tags to the previous post...sorry... ***SPOILERS!!!*** I apologize for forgetting to mention that earlier. Also, just as an afterthought, did anyone else notice how the sanity and reliability of each of the characters seems to have inverted towards the end of...

Addie's passage :p to you too. Hi guys, sorry I'm late but this weekend has just been so busy (I didn't have a minute to myself) and next week we are going out of town so everything is really hectic...well anyway, to the point: the book. I kind of wanted to talk about Addie's passage. I...

Oh yay! We have some takers (I think). As a warning, the following paragraph/sentence is just me complaining about my life. I will add some Faulkner stuff tomorrow when my brain will be (hopefully) functioning correctly. I am a bit muddled right now as I have just returned from one of those...

People are, in their natural state, generally good. The system is bad. Society's pressures make people evil. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. How's the weather?

I have read the first one of these, and was quite impressed for being written by such a young author (is she about twenty or so now?) but wasn't blown away by any means. The story was a bit formulatic. I was pleased, however, that it wasn't the typical Romeo-and-Juliet storyline by any means...

Hello all! I just got back from taking the SAT and desperately need some intelligent conversation after being locked for four hours in a stuffy room of crude, illiterate, juvenile delinquents. I have once again failed in my efforts to find a thread for a book, so I have created one. I...

I love winter because I think it is the most beautiful and happiest season, where families get together and kids play in the snow. There is something very romantic about reading by the hearth (even if it's an electric fire ;)) and I love skiing. My cousins in the southern states and in India ask...

I don't think that I would call any books the 'most whackest,' because I think most books, including many of those mentioned here, mean something to someone, and just because I don't understand, relate to, or appreciate them doesn't make them the most whackest books. I don't feel that I have the...

Periods I like: Everything. Ancient civilizations. Middle Ages. Age of Exploration. Renaissance/Elizabethan Age. Colonial Period/Early America. Civil War/Reconstruction. Industrial Age. Victorian Age. Gilded Age.

When actually paying for books, I always buy paperback, preferably trade paperbacks. They are cheaper than hardcovers. When checking books out of the library, I generally look for hardcovers rather than paperbacks, since they are usually in better condition. I guess library readers are too...

I just wrote a nice, long review for this...and it disappeared. :( I will just summarize what I had written previously. Holden is a difficult character. He is difficult to like because he tends to get himself into situations...and complain about them. He is difficult to hate because he has...

Only if they ask... Even if I don't tell them what my username is, they'd probably be able to figure it out anyway. :rolleyes: Do you sing in the shower? You know you do! Admit it!

Book: probably a journal/sketch pad or Alice in Wonderland to stir my imagination Film: Romeo and Juliet (old version) Music: The Phantom of the Opera just because even though I love rock, I tend to get tired of it after listening for long periods. Painting: Oh, so many! I do like...

Nope. Any photos of me would probably be enough ugliness to break your monitor. :D :D Actually, the real reason is that I don't have a digital camera, and I hate scanning things.

The what??? :D What is your favorite sport to watch?

Oh, okay, I see now why you would have used some of the word choice that you did :o . Thanks for the clarification. I don't know much about gladiators (although I did write a paper about Augustus Caesar three years ago, in sixth grade) so it makes more sense now. English isn't exactly my first...

I'm trilingual: English, Spanish, Gujrati. I'm still only learning Spanish, but I can communicate well enough in the past and present tenses. I can speak and understand Gujrati, but can't read or write at all.

Purple = word choice/sentences I especially liked Green = possible grammatical errors/clarification needed Red = awkward word choice/better word choice possible That was pretty good! Continue writing (duh) and I would be interested in reading anything more that you write about gladiators...
