[Kaczynski]

The Catcher in the Rye is a book I've wanted to read to read for a long time, but I don't want to yet, I'm scared I won't understand it. It was the same with the Alchemist, it made me cry but I didn't even know why.



Reading the Getting of Wisdom now, by Henry Handel Richardson, which is a pen name. She went to my old school.

The book is set there. And nothing much has changed.

You like Donnie Darko? You'll understand it.

 

[Kaczynski]

Problem is that I didn't understand Donnie Darko either. Time travel is too complex. I hate ambiguous endings, they make a nasty dig at my intelligence.



Mind Hunter - John Douglas and Mark Olshaker.



Although I don't know what Olshaker did, except take a few photos. Oh well. Yay, more serial killers! How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.

 

[Caligo]

Not really reading anything at the moment, though I do have some books I need to finish before the next batch at Christmas comes around.



Was working on finishing The Living Dead anthology about I'm sure you can guess.

 

[Kaczynski]

I never thought I'd say this, but...I'm reading too much.

It's getting in the way of my sleeping and my schoolwork. Oh well.



Finally started reading the Catcher in the Rye. Now I wish I hadn't, because I seem to be a lot like Holden, and that is a depressing thought. It's by J.D Salinger and it is a lot easier to read than I had expected. I thought it'd be something really confusing and awesome, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Still awesome though.

 

[Discord]

Excellent. I'm a lot like Holden myself, believe it or not.

 

[Kaczynski]

Yeah I believe it.

We're all growing up.



This is making me so sad because I'm just too much like him and I don't think that's a very good thing. I think I could have done without this book, it's kept me up all night. It's just that I like to talk about my books, I don't think I could do this one with my psych and no one even reads anymore, it's sort of funny I guess. I was reading Veronika Decides to Die again and it just made me feel that way.

 

[TayneC8]

Nothing, I don't really read books.

[Princess]

Romeo and Juliet is a wonderful play.



Currently re-reading Texas--James Michner.

 

[phatuis]

The Same Stuff as Stars (Not sure who by, we are reading at school.)

 

[Kaczynski]

Frankenstein - Mary Shelley.



Romeo and Juliet has wonderful language. Shakespeare = metaphor = awesome. But god I HATE ROMEO AND JULIET AS CHARACTERS. THEY'RE SO IRRATIONALLY FOOLISH.

 

[Discord]

Romeo and Juliet sucks. Hamlet is God Awesome though.



By the way Kacz, you can talk to me about The Catcher In The Rye. =D

 

[Madyy]

The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne

 

[Kaczynski]

Romeo and Juliet sucks. Hamlet is God Awesome though.



By the way Kacz, you can talk to me about The Catcher In The Rye. =D

Yay, you will run away in horror though. Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caeser, King Lear...anything is better really. Teenage love is infatuation.



The Swiss Family Robinson - Johann Wyss.

Dug out this book, got it in 2005 and never finished reading it. Apart from the preaching and the praying,

 

[Jayglo]

Elyon by Ted Dekker.

What Americans Really Want... Really by Frank Luntz





And my Economics textbook......

 

[Corleone]

Still reading Romeo & Juliet. On Act 3, scene 3. Long play!

 

[Kaczynski]

Still reading Romeo & Juliet. On Act 3, scene 3. Long play!

I hope you're reading out loud. It's a play! It's like poetry!



Disconnected - Sherry Ashworth.

Minus the alcoholicism thing, I am exactly like the main character; regarding schoolwork, parents, friends, everything. Pretty sad.

Mere Christianity by CS Lewis

 

[Alien]

I've just started reading I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne. I'm not very far into it but I'm enjoying it already and looking forward to reading the rest of it.
