Hey thanks! :D:flowers:

I'm seeing Agalloch in Portland on Halloween weekend. Can't wait to get back up to the northwest.

Hey you! Happy birthday. :) I can't believe it's been a year since I found this place. :flowers:

Happy birthday! :) I only remember because it's mine too.:whistling: :flowers:

Right now, I'm in the visiting room at Rikers Island. A 19 year old mother of two and pregnant with another is visiting her boyfriend (father of the oldest and the unborn) in the visiting room. He's too busy passing messages to his friends at other tables to pay much attention to her or his...

I would consider that pretty fast, haha. I usually can never read more than 100 pages a day and it's typically only about 50.

I don't like to read more than 1 at a time. I feel to fully absorb the book, I can't let another one distract me. Plus I would be afraid that the other book would be so good that I couldn't put it down and when I get back to the other one, I forget everything that was happening.

:flowers: Thanks! I had a feeling that this was if not her first novel, then one of her first. She absolutely has an amazing talent for the written word and creates very vivid images. The scene with Cholly and Pecola was almost heartbreaking. Normally when I finish a book that didn't...

The Happening was pretty disturbingly awful. :D

I'm in an apartment in the Bronx in the mid 80s. Filled with drug addicts, teenage mothers who don't know who the fathers are, abuse of every kind and living conditions verging on total squalor.

The book was not seen through Pecola's eyes. It was a first person account through the eyes of Claudia part of the time and then a narrative describing sections of the lives of Mrs Breedlove, Cholly, the social upbringing of the class of people who were the parents of the spoiled little kid who...

I just finished The Bluest Eye and thought it was too short to be as scattered and separated as it was. In order to fill us in on the origins of specific characters, there should have been much more meat to the main story. If it makes any sense, the overly descriptive nature and short length...

I own Random Family, but have yet to read it. I should do that soon.

I hate it when used book stores accept books that have been highlighted and underlined and written in by a student doing a report or whatnot. I can't see how anyone could read a book in that condition. So I expect them not to take those books.:D
