    Don't Look Now but Big Brother is Watching

    He said there was accountability and denied certain actions were taking place, it turns out, that was false. That is why he gets blame. Enough to make you throw a vote away by voting third party.

    Dreams

    I'm not one to provide practical advice on this, but on a related note: Freud's Interpretation of Dreams http://www.amazon.com/Interpretation-Dreams-Complete-Definitive-Text/dp/0465019773/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1376835153&sr=1-1&keywords=Sigmund+Freud+dreams :)

    F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby

    LOL-Escapism by any other means just wouldn't be the same. I love this theme that comes out through and through. It starts out mildly through the parties and then works to a libertine peak where you leave a path of destruction in the path of your car(quite literally in this book's case) It...

    Piper Kerman: Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison

    This is getting rave reviews. There is a ton of research about women/girls and the justice system, can't think of much relating to literature, perhaps we will see a new upswing of interest in the topic? Orange is the new black http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Is-New-Black-Womens/dp/0385523394...

    No, I never said anyone had to "Like" something automatically. Just that in order to have an informed opinion, it's best to have read the book you are talking about. A good question to ask. The beauty of a discussion is to consider both sides of the debate. One prominent scholar believes...

    "ALL" the people included a salon writer who posted a huge caveat that you choose to ignore. A writer and a shrink who posits pure conjecture hardly constitute a mass of opinion, let alone, the right one. Oh, was the quote mistaken? Let me know how I specifically put in the wrong words from...

    So you are running with a generalization of "popular opinion" that is devoid from a reading, any reading, of the book. In another thread, you were quick to criticize religious folks for being intolerant. This is no different. You are taking other people's words as gold instead of finding out...

    Ah, but V.N. does highlight how it's wrong. From your slate source. And where specifically in the book, is it stated that he is in the right? Is there a line where he wistfully muses about his love and how he "completes" her? The Slate link indicates otherwise and totally undermines your...
