I didn't mean promoting in that way. I meant it as like.... suggesting the idea? Not sure if that's any clearer.

I haven't read or heard of the book, but I do have a younger brother in 7th grade. The school system in my town is weird, and so he goes to school with just 6th and 7th graders in it. Rainbow parties have become a fad of sorts at this junior high school, one got busted once by a parent and...

I have the saddle shoe version. =) IBSN 0-679-72316-1

My to-read list is also extremely long, but the ones that I own but haven't gotten around to reading yet are: Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert To The Lighthouse - Virgina Woolf As I Lay Dying - William Faulkner A Happy Death - Albert Camus If I Die In A Combat Zone - Tim O'Brien...

I got an email from a person about The Jungle too! It looked like some ridiculous essay prompt. =/ The person hasn't come back, and only has one post, so I don't feel bad about posting it here: :rolleyes: I was amused. Don't remember if I responded or not. I'm also in high school, but...

I have 10 pages of it photocopied, but I don't know the book's title or author or anything. And I haven't read it before.. all I have are these 10 pages and I would really like to read the whole thing. Its a book about philosophy and science and how it has shaped literature, the part I have...

Franny and Zooey and Nine Stories so far, Raise the Roofbeams + Seymour: An Introduction aren't available at the bookstore by me and so I have to wait. :p Both were very good, I agree with what Shade said about italics and how that enhanced the diologue. I like Salinger a lot. :)

I liked it a lot. One line in particular stands out, about pulling out the flowers of the garden of his soul.. something like that. I agree that the last chapter with all the innuendo kind of killed it, but it was good nonetheless.

Finals are almost over, leaving me with an entire month of nothingness planned before I go away.. and I intend to read. :) I'm not looking for anything in particular, I like mostly fiction but will read anything good. Some books that I have read recently and enjoyed: -Cat's Cradle, Hocus...

'The Neon Bible' by John Kennedy Toole.. not hard to read at all, he wrote it when he was 16, but its really good, published like 10 years ago or something.

Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried was exceptionally well written

I did... when I was like 6. xD :p

I usually like the stuff I get to read, at least this year. :cool: In the past I have had teachers who took good books and absoluetly killed them, but for the most part I never minded it. Then again, I'm always that kid who reads the whole thing the night the book is given out. :rolleyes:

I enjoyed this movie a lot.. I cried at the end. Fabulous music, fantastic story, and exceptional acting on the part of Jamie Foxx, he really deserved that oscar.

Mine are ordered by how much I liked the book. xD Except I keep authors togehter. lol.

He is, in my opinion, 100% NOT GUILTY. There are soo many inconsistencies with this kid's testimony, the whole thing is practically a joke! The family has sued J.C. Penny before, for no other reason than to get money, dates of the alleged molestation have CHANGED several times throughout this...

7. :) Which isn't bad, for me.

Cat's Cradle- Kurt Vonnegut. I bought it a while ago, but never sat down and read it. :rolleyes:

Setting is never a really big factor for me, as long as it suits the book. :) They've taken me around the world and beyond.

Prince is awesome. :cool: I'll prolly put my Prince sig back up in a few days, when I get bored of this one. xD
