Five for Fighting - "100 Years" One never gets tired of ceaselessly listening to that song...

I am so ashamed! :o It's been two months, and I have not even reached the half-way point of Crime and Punishment! Due to the tiring demands of school, reading for leisure is not anymore common in my daily life. :(

My avatar, although not so clear, is a scene from one of the greatest movies of all time (my opinion), "Gone With the Wind." :)

Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury "...that's the wonderful thing about man; he never gets so discouraged or disgusted that he gives up doing it all over again, because he knows very well it is important and worth the doing." The author's method of combining simplicity with sincerity attracted...

To be honest, only his first two books, A Time To Kill and The Firm, brought me any real excitement. However, I won't deny that his books have substance. Although I am not a big fan of Grisham's work anymore, occassionally I happen to stumble across another one of his novels, and I am happy to...

How so? You have nothing to fear; everyone here is very courteous and welcoming! Also, I don't think that we've ever had a nervous waffler in the forums - at least none that I'm familiar with. We're very happy to have a waffler in the forums, so welcome! :)

And we're looking forward to becoming better acquainted with you. Welcome to the Book Forums! :)

Here, here! Although I'm particularly new to these forums, I couldn't help expressing my astonishment at stumbling across this thread. Based on my careful observations, it's apparent that you, Ell, are one of a kind - caring deeply for the opinions of others, and always there to lend a helping...

A very creative title to give to us. Welcome to the Book Forums! :)

Welcome to the forums! :) By the way, your avatar is a fascinating one. Is there any particular reason for why you chose it?

There is no doubt in my mind of how much I love literature! I was exposed, very fortunately, to the classics at a very young age, and my admiration for this genre has never once wavered.

Am I late in congratulating you a very happy birthday? If so, I am really sorry, but don't let my lack of punctuality keep you from enjoying your birthday!

I was very shocked after reading this quote, particularly because I have heard such positive reviews concerning the book. I am not sure, but didn't this win the Pulitzer Prize upon publication (if I am wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me)? Having not yet read the book myself, I have no...

Thank you very much for the feedbacks! :)

Re-reading books is not a frequent habit for me, but at times I do grab Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and the Harry Potter series to reminisce on the past.

Is anyone familiar with Newberry Honor and Newberry Medal books? A while back, my hands would never flip the pages of a book unless it had a silver or gold Newberry medal at the cover.

Any lover of literature is a friend of ours. :) Welcome to the Book Forums, Flowerdk4! We hope to make your stay here as enjoyable as possible and, as cabrasopa once said, "Post away!"

I am sad to say that my name (Metaphor) does not have an underlying definition; in other words, the name was simply chosen out of the blue. As for whether or not I could say, "So what are you a metaphor for, Metaphor?" when I've been drinking, I am pleased to inform you that I successfully said...

Hello, lindaj07. Welcome to the Book Forums! :) As a recent member of this forum, I am also accustoming myself to the site. The adjustment is gradual, but it's certainly worth it. That has always been such a difficult question on my part, but for now I will choose Margaret Mitchell. I...
