    Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451

    Favorite Quotes

    "if there is a god, then he's not worth praying to" from white oleander i just love it. i dunno why. simple and to the point. i'm not too religious and i'm at that phase where i do question the existance of god b/c of my past/present. and i do agree with it. if there is a god, he's not...

    I just finished reading...

    well i just finished reading the Bell Jar this morning. i gave it a try when i was about 14 or so but didn't like it and i didn't finish it then. i loved it this time. as cliche as it sounds, "i couldn't put it down." definatly killed time in my classes. real shame Plath died before writing...

    Have you ever met one of your favourite authors?

    i can't say that i have but it'd be rather interesting to. i'm not one to get excited over celeberties, bands, or writers though. i'd want to meet someone so i'd have a story tho =P and the chance to have some sort of intellegent conversation

    Books set where you live

    i'd love to. i dont think i ever have.. with both NJ or PA.. it reminds me of when i saw garden state. they depicted the area i lived in PERFECTLY.... except they made the houses to nice. i was really happy since they had two scenes from my old town, wallington.

    General classics discussion: which do you like?

    i liked The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. it was an easy read and based on actual reality. it kind of reminded me of my family; we're immigrants. we had far more luck than this family [and less poisonious meat..] but we've struggled. my classmates didn't like it since it was so gross, but it was...

    Where do you turn for news?

    hm.. kind of varies. probably school and AOL. its the quickest. i rarely watch the news even though i used to daily for a while.. i used to check out cnn.com for the hell of it, but i haven't in a while. now i check the internet if i'm looking for something specific about the news. :p
