 | 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...

 working on for 3 years now.

 | 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.

 existant attention s..p...a...
