I can't get pita bread anywhere nearby, so I make do with saltine crackers.

Hawthorne...I really didn't like The Scarlet Letter. -_- Hmm, let me look up what I said about it last summer. (This is really just a reason to procrastinate).

This is my recommendation:
"I didn’t like the book. It was boring and the only real plotline was Chillingworth’s need of revenge. It was just about her life after the letter was put on and nothing more. I would not recommend the book, for the same reason."

I wasn't nice. Eh...it may have been due to the fact that I was reading entire books in a row. Oh well.

/end procrastination.

I remember having to watch a lackluster PBS production of The Scarlet Letter last year. The guy who played Dimmesdale was really attractive. Mmm. Just pray that you get to watch it in class.

Ack, I read The Scarlet Letter in my junior year of high school when I had the bitchiest English teacher ever. The tests she gave us on that book...eeeks.

I've never read "The Scarlet Letter," but I actually like Hawthorne's short stories. Key words: Short stories.
I think I'll get off now. But before I go, one last picture...

Was that the one with Demi Moore, where they changed the ending? When asked about it, Demi goes: "Oh, well no one has really read the Scarlet Letter so it doesn't matter if the ending was changed."

I actually liked The Scarlett Letter, but I'm a geek for classic literature. I used to read Dickens for fun when I was little.

I'm not reading The Scarlet Letter, I'm reading Hawthorne's lesser known and equally as torturous The Blithedale Romance.

I recognize the addiction to being alive.

I agree...his short stories are really good.

We had to watch the Demi Moore version.

I hated American Lit almost completely, with the only exceptions being... umm... Fitzgerald. And Emily Dickinson. The Brits definitely have us thoroughly defeated in the literature department, even just comparing the past 200 years.

I read both The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. It was torture.

I disliked American lit as well, sans The Great Gatsby.

The Great Gatsby is love.

Seriously...its probably my favorite book that I've studied for school purposes (and in my personal top 5).

Haha, perhaps I should change mine as well.

Amber, I feel the same way. It's probably my #2 ever. It was such a nice treat to read it at the end of a horrible English year.

I LOVE The Great Gatsby, and if you enjoy it then you might want to pick up some of Fitzgerald's other novels. Tender is the Night is one of my favorite books. This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and Damned are slower, but still good reads.

I liked Gatsby, but I didn't love it.

Lexi, I really like that picture of you.

I think I might change mine back too, unless anyone particularly likes what I like to call my "Human iPod" pic.

I don't even remember what we read in American Lit. Bad Puritan poetry? The Crucible? Dry existentialist writing? I read The Catcher in the Rye that year, but that was for a project where you chose what you wanted to read.

I think Americans just don't have as much of a flair for the romantic or something, which is unfortunate.
