    What books have you hated?

    Haha... yeah. I kinda wanna give The Red Badge of Courage to Chamblins but I feel very bad for the poor person who might buy it next. It's sort like the video from The Ring. You REALLY wanna get rid of it but you feel an overwhelming guilt for it's next victim. I felt All Over but the...

    What books have you hated?

    My disgust and loathing for The Red Badge of Courage by Steven Crane burns as a dangerously intense wildfire whose only desire is to mercilessly consume anything pure and good that crosses its path... I also didn't like All Over but the Shoutin' by an author I can't remember. He was just a...

    What do you do?

    Wow... I'm kinda glad I found this thread. I'll be starting my freshman year of college in the fall and even though everyone says I don't need to pick a major yet, I'm still freakin out a little. I wanna do something that I really like, but I don't want to to have to worry financially in the...

    Where are you? (in the book you are reading) - please read 1st post

    I'm a young, devoted scientist who has toiled endlessly for 9 months (ahem) to finally "bestow animation upon lifeless matter"!!! Was it worth it? To be quite honest I never really knew the story behind Frankenstien at all so I'm really loving it. Nothin wrong with the classics. ^_^

    :lol:Haha. Beer good, awesome reviews. I might have to watch a few now. That shark scene was bobo.:lol: ....................... It was not a movie, but Wicked came to town and I saw that. It was nice and pretty funny, but, in my opinion, not as much hype as everyone was giving it.

    Disagree with ending?

    The only one I could really think of was Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. Maybe not that it was bad, but the ending happened so quickly and finished up so bluntly. It depressed me...

    Classic books into good movies?

    Aww. It was a sweet movie, nevertheless.

    1001 books you must read before you die.

    Eeeek... Only 21. Oh well, I'm only 17, I've got a lot of life left ... hopefully ... and even more to read. Many of the books (mostly in 1900-1800s range) I've already purchased and have either yet to read, or started and then set it down for another book. I have to say that I do write in...

    The today I'm irritated by __________ thread

    wow... I'm a little more surprised than irritated. My 9th grade english teacher was arrested today for possibly having sex with a student. I guess I'm more irritated that my old teacher is amazing and seemingly truely in love with her husband and two kids. I just can't see how this is true at all.

    I couldn't imagine watching it in theaters, although I'm sure I would have found it amusing to hear everyone going "AH! OH!" That might have taken away a bit. I watched it at a friend's house (which, on the inside, looks like a creepy old ski lodge) during perfect scary movie weather. It was...

    Franz Kafka: In the Penal Colony

    Apparently not for long.

    Favorite Quotes

    It's not my favorite, but I was just watching a documentary on the history channel and this one stuck out... "If it's not an act of God, it's a conspiracy."

    The Strangers scared me to death! All that vampire, poltergiest stuff is okay, but when it's something that could actually happen to you tonight... that gets me. When you think about it, it's just home invasion... followed by murder. I actually just finished watching the latest episode of Lie...

    I watched the American one, but apparently they are almost exactly the same. Same scenes, camera angles, director. Just different actors. I'd have to watch the original, though. Here is an essay on the original Funny Games that my friend found... Funny Games Roth is one of my all-time...

    Joseph Heller: Catch 22

    I didn't really want to read this book because I had the fixed idea that it was a war book. The only other war book I had read at the time was The Red Badge of Courage which made me want to fall over dead. I just assumed from then on that every war book was going to be as awful as The Red Badge...

    April 2009: Kafka: The Trial

    I'm in the middle-ish. I love how there is no particular place or time frame in the story. It kind of comments on the universality of the situation and the emotions that come from it.

    I just had a movie night... WHEEE!! Audition (kinda boring, but CRAZY at the end) Funny Games (really good. It made me think) Four Rooms (I've never loved Tim Roth more!! ^_^)

    Franz Kafka

    Aww. My book cover is all lame and normal. Oh well, I can't complain. My friend bought it for me... used.

    Guilty Secrets

    I have tried to read 1984, but just couldn't. I then tried to readBrave New World but coudn't do that, either. It's something about those government controled futuristic societies, I think.
