MarcM Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 I hope that was not the movie Bollywood was scouting my station for.....
Levis Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 I think not since it wasn't made into a Bollywood movie
MarcM Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Thats a relief. I would hate to have been involved with anything that you hold in such contempt!
katie_sane Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, I loved it. Mee too! The last books I read were Twilight, Eclipse and New Moon. Loved them all and have already pre-ordered a copy of Breaking Dawn
Earth-Angel Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Katie and I agreed - Stephanie Meyer books are awesome!!!
Uncle Joe Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Not recommended for male readers then, huh?
Levis Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 So THAT'S what all those "I <3 Edward Cullen", "I <3 vampires" and "I'm in love with a fictional character" badges are about!
poetrychick Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 If you are looking for short stories I would recommend theses authors: Grimm Brothers, Joseph Conrad, Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, ALbert Camus, Mc Knight Malmar, Flannery O' Connor, and John Cheever.
Levis Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 J.D. Salinger reminds me... what's the deal with Catcher In The Rye? It's a whole book about... nothing
poetrychick Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 It is about his journey into adult hood and how it is people's undoing, falling off the cliff, to grow up. The book is really complex and I suggest it to any young adult. Try spark notes.
poetrychick Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Poor J.D., got killed because he wrote a book. Although a recluse, he was a really great writer, knew what he was talking about.
Uncle Joe Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 If you are looking for short stories I would recommend theses authors: Grimm Brothers, Joseph Conrad, Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, ALbert Camus, Mc Knight Malmar, Flannery O' Connor, and John Cheever. A decent list, yes. But add Edgar Alan Poe to the top of that list.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 So THAT'S what all those "I <3 Edward Cullen", "I <3 vampires" and "I'm in love with a fictional character" badges are about! I was wondering about that myself.
Levis Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 It is about his journey into adult hood and how it is people's undoing, falling off the cliff, to grow up. The book is really complex and I suggest it to any young adult. Try spark notes. I read it a few years ago... I think I just wasn't intense enough for it
The Seeker Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 I was very much into it a while ago... I never liked the ending though.
The Seeker Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Not the ending as such... just he kind of lost me once he visited his... sister, or friend? I read the book a couple of times, but I almost always stopped reading after he watched that performance. It got boring then.
Uncle Joe Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 To be honest, I thought it sucked, too. It was hip to read it when I was in high school so I did. I had friends who loved it, embraced it. I never understood why. Maybe it was the *masturbation. * In the book, not by my friends. Though I'm sure they...nevermind.
The Seeker Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 I don't think I remember that bit... I just remember I got fed up with all the swearing... godd*mn this and godd*mn that... a bit too much (and thank you for clarifying )
Lea Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 Even tho I have been an avid reader all my life, I have never read Catcher In The Rye. I have threatened to many times but never did. Don't know why I didn't. The only reason I wanted to read it anyway was to see what all the hoop La was about. They removed it from my HS library. I think that was why I wanted to read it Now Madame Bovary I did read as a teen and I did like it
The Seeker Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 You can read it online for free. After reading Uncle Joe's post I reread most of it just now... it won't take you long.
Red Fish Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 last thing i read was seekys post it was terrible lol!!
