I am currently listening to Bublitschki by Gogol Bordello. As some of you may know, that song is in the movie Everything is Illuminated. (based on the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer) A couple of months ago, a friend of mine was talking about this "hysterical gypsy punk band." Of course I...

i completely agree. didn't the panic at the disco phase die off? i haven't seen any myspace names [FIRST NAME] at the disco! lately admittedly, i did get addicted to a couple of songs for literally two weeks. after that i couldn't stand the music. its catchy, yes, but completely feeds the...

i recently took it out of the library and was hesitant about it. after skimming this forum, i decided i will read it after all

i agree. i read it as a sophomore and most of my classmates barely got through it

David Copperfield. Why on earth is that piece of shit considered to be great literature

so far i've read 20 - i'm trying to reach 50 by the end of December. originally the goal was 100, but i realized that wasn't possible. even though there are hundreds of books that i want to read, it seems like a waste of time if i read too fast to get anything out of it

you know you're addicted to reading books when your TBR list is over 660 books long

i certainly like to. i feel that i'm getting more out of the book that way. i filled The Fountainhead and Anthem with notes, and Vonnegut's Cats Cradle. sometimes i write little notes in library books - pencil of course =P

welcome =)

like most other people said, the idea of staring at a computer screen to read a book is not very tempting/attractive.

Libre, I envy you! i wish i was still at the Harvard Summer School Program. The Widener library is AMAZING! (not to mention, huge. i've gotten lost alot at first and set off an alarm) my current library is far better than the one i was forced to use in an immigrant community in NJ...

i usually leave the book upside down at home. however, i've developed a post-it system. i'm the type who will mark where i want to read by by a certain date. i use post-its for that. i also may use a post-it as a bookmark. as we all know, a post-it loses its ability to.. post. so i fold it in...

i've only read The Plot against America by Roth. what disappointed me was that i was ready to read a Vonnegut-style novel. however, it was interesting to read an account that was actually.. plausable. and i do agree with you on the ending. it felt rushed

i have one shelf above my clothes in my closet - i can barely reach it! i'm afraid its going to buckle b/c its already looking a bit.. concave. my arrangment makes sense in my head. all the authors are grouped together. satire is grouped together. theres a genocide section, bestseller, Polish...

hm i don't mind lending books as long as i get them back in perfect condition. my OCD feels that i got the full bang for the buck for a book i bought if more people read it. however, i do make it clear ahead of time that i'll only lend it to the person if they hand it back to me in the condition...

i just finished Diary a couple of days ago. i loved it when i started reading it a couple of summers ago. it's an interesting literary style - very rare that you find a book in the second person. granted, it was most third person narrative. anyhow, it would've been better if a woman wrote it. a...

i read Sound and Fury for AP English. the whole class loathed it. i actually liked it. not so much while reading some parts, but i really liked Benji's point of view. i felt that he captured the different personalities really well. Quentin's section drove me crazy though. the book would've been...

The Fountainhead is long, but i'm glad it is. for some reason i just fall into it. i read a about a third of it two years ago. didn't entirely get into it. this year i chose it for a literary research paper. i liked it a LOT better while keeping communist undertones in mind. its just...

I LOVE BADMINTON

i'm fluent in Polish
