I have re-read books that I initially read when I was young. for example, I read All Quiet on the Western Front when I was in junior high and hated it. then, as I continued to grow and expand my reading, I realized the book was very powerful and I just finished re-reading it.

I felt like there was unfairness for all the characters except the men she (sonja if i remember her name correctly) is with and sonja's role was to disconnect. that to survive the unfairness of life she didn't even deal with it, she just ignored it. I guess my problem was that it felt like sonja...

I went into a bookstore the other day to buy Atonement by Ian McEwan and the only copies in the store had the movie poster as the front cover. It always bothers me when they put movie posters as the book covers because it takes away from the book a little. It makes the movie seem more important...

Atlas Shrugged is still on my list to read and I did enjoy the experience of reading We The Living, I think what i reacted to most was the feeling of being drained when I was finished with the book.

I use a borders receipt that is so old, worn, and covered with ink from other books I can't read it anymore

I read it. I liked it but I wouldn't read it again. I like Dostoevsky much better.

we the living -Ayn Rand this book is supposed to show what soviet russia was like and i did enjoy reading it but afterwards i never wanted to read another Ayn Rand book again. something about the pointlessness of life for her main character just bothered me after a while

the brothers karamasov by feodor dostoevsky. doestoevsky is the only author that i feel like my mind is examding as i learn more and more about the characters. the debate of God's existance and the roles of men on earth are amazing and even though it is a large book i remember every part vividly.

101 safe hunting tipsby Dick Chenney [I]my life as presidentby Arnold Schwarzenegger [I]A Guide to Non-Violent films by Quintin Tarintino

i actually loved this book but there's a point when everything gets annoying. for me it was around the time natley died and it was milo's fault but by the end their hope is restored which is the important thing IMO anyway.

i hated moby dick, there's too much detail that doesn't have to do with the actual plot. is it interesting to compair the books, engravings, tales, heads of the whales? yes, but it didn't enhance the story. plus it gets through all of that detail and moby dick's attack on the ship/ ahab's death...

I just finished "the screwtape letters", I thought it was interesting and well written, but i liked the chronicals of narnia better. in chronicals my favorites are: the horse and his boy and prince caspian.

i read this book for high school and while i didn't have a problem with the language (it was well, and often, explained to us that it was part of the times) but i did have a problem with the character of tom sawyer at the end of the book. I wanted to smack him (tom sawyer, not twain) for what he...
