I saw that movie yesterday on TV. I remember seeing it a long time ago, but then it didn't make that much of an impression on me as it did now. It's weird that it was made such a long time ago yet it makes more relevance now with the whole reality TV craze going around. I can't help admitting...

Maybe this has been discussed before, and if it is I'm sorry for starting it up again. For a long time, I've been feeling really depressed and don't really know what to do. I haven't really told my family, which is only my father, how I feel, because I know he'll tell me it's my fault. I've been...

I really like their music. When I feel angsty or depressed, I usually play their stuff and feel a little better. They play it all the time at B&N too, that's how I heard most of their songs. So what does everyone here think of their new album, X&Y?

I have just finished reading Wide Sargasso Sea by her for English class as an extension of Jane Eyre, and liked it a lot better than Jane Eyre. I have also noticed that Rhys has written some other very interesting books, maybe even more interesting than Wide Sargasso Sea. Has anyone read...

I currently wrestle in high school, and my wrestling coach, knowing that I like reading, offered me this book to read. It's basically about a aspiring wrestler that all of a sudden quit college and now works in construction. He gets an offer to be an assistant coach at a starting wrestling...

Has anyone read this book, and if so do you like it? I wrestle in high school currently, and wanted to get my hands on some literature that has to do with wrestling. Vision Quest would probably be the most obvious one, but I've already seen the movie.

I just finished reading Notes From the Underground as well as Crime and Punishment. I really liked both of them. I want to ask everyone sincerely, what books did you enjoy most by him besides the well-known, like Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Kazamarov. The reason I'm asking is, I'm not...

I live in New Jersey but come from Bulgaria. I loved reading all my life, although I have just rekindled my passion for books again. As much as I love reading, I don't really have too many friends that enjoy reading and have noone to discuss my books with. The genres I like are usually based on...
