to talk about classics...

I read the first half of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility
- the original english version I might add ; ) - and I liked
it, but it became a little slow in the middle so I stopped
reading... Shame on me, I do that too often.

1984 is great, I've read it two times. It sort of changes
direction completely halfway into the book.

i haven't read it in a few years.. not to patronize you, i
read it when i was your age, and i really enjoyed it too. i
may reread it, what did you like best about it? it's been
too long since i've read it.

i've always liked how salinger refuses to let hollywood
adapt a movie from it.

catcher in the rye rocks...best book i read freshmen year
easily.

other books we read in classes in highschool that i enjoyed:
the awakening, the scarlet letter, things fall apart, the
stranger...i remember HATING huck finn and heart of darkness
(though it was interesting to see apocalypse now after that
book -- an interesting adaptation)...and i never cared much
for dickens...

things fall apart and the stranger are two of my very
favorite books, and major inspirations on the book i've been
working on for 3 years now.

One of my faves. Have you read any of his other stuff? Same
kind of themes but a bit up their own arse imho.

I read CITR for the first time earlier this year - Really
liked it! It's odd, not the kind of thing I'd usually like,
but just loved the writing style and getting inside that
guys head for a bit...
Definetly gonna check out the rest of Salinger's stuff.

Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books from
high school.

another of my favoties was Farenheit 451

i like the shorter stories because i have a virtually non
existant attention s..p...a...
