There was a joke about someone saying they didn't want to start posting until they'd read the whole thread - so of course they NEVER started posting. I had dial-up in those days, and loading the page took forever.

Dialup is hell.

I was going to read all of Part Three before I started posting but I gave up. Maybe I'll do it eventually.

I only missed one page while I was at class?! You peeps were slackin'.

Yay, Tracie. Welcome.

Hola!

I don't know if I can truly say this because I haven't been on this thread very long, but welcome, Tracie.

Sorry I missed the book discussion- books are, sadly, my life. My favorite books we had to read for school are: The Great Gatsby," "Catcher in the Rye", and "Fahrenheit 451". Oh, and I love George Orwell.

1984!

I 1984. And Animal Farm. A lot of people hate those books.

I read part 4 before I started posting, but not parts 3, 2, and 1. I also read the whole Anthony thread before I started posting. And I have dial-up.


...yes, I'm a freak.

No exclamation for 1984... that book sucks because of the teacher I had to read it for. And it's the year I was born and all that 'Big brother is watching you' stuff... weeiird. I really hope that's the right book, hmmm.

I actually did the play Animal Farm when I was in high school. I was Napoleon and had to wear a pig snout that smelled like paint fumes. It was awful. I also had to pretend to take a leak on some building plans or something. Yeah, not one of my proudest theater moments.

[Dramatic_Irony]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 3:54pm

Yes, that's the right book.

I hated Catcher in the Rye when I first read it because the teacher I was reading it with was horrible. She made us use Post-its, and extremely ridiculous stuff. But then I reread it on my own and loved it.

1984 is one of my all-time favorites.

[Katt]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 3:55pm

Animal Farm was a weird book. And really short. It took like 30 minutes to read.

Hey *waves*

what's up today? talking about books?

i loved that book 1984...i'm reading the Lovely Bones now, so sad

[gertrudejessalynn]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 3:57pm

My teacher was great... we read 1984, but watched Animal Farm. Something about pig heads on sticks or something... I was confused. It was ninth grade... yeah, that'll be my excuse.

[Dramatic_Irony]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 3:58pm

Oh, Lovely Bones...is that the same author as My Sister's Keeper? Don't mind me if I'm completely off....I make weird connections.

KAtt, I read that book really quickly, too. I thought that was just me.

*has read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 10 hours*

I go away for one hour and you're all talking about books again. Welcome Tracy.

[Katt]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:00pm

Yeah I read the last Harry Potter in four hours...heh. Fast reader.

The pig head on a stick thing is from Lord of the Flies.

[iheartcheyenne123]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:00pm

I don't think it's the same author..a lot of people are reading that book, my english teacher recommended it (the sister's keeper)

[Katt]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:02pm

Books are fun Sarah. =P

[tlp70]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:02pm

I loved Lovely Bones, but it is a really sad book. It's written by Alice Siebold (sp?). My Sister's Keeper is written by Jodi Picoult, who is another author I love. I haven't read that one yet. Is it any good?

[Dramatic_Irony]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:02pm

Okay, 4? Now that's just creepy.

Of course, I really hated that book, or rather, Harry in that book. CapsLock!Harry is not cool. And when I don't like a book, it takes me longer to read. The Scarlet Letter took me like a month.

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:02pm

I love 1984 and Animal Farm as well.

Tracie, I could swear that I IMed you a few weeks ago complaining about bitchy people on LJ.

I always hope that I'll find Adam news when I check this thread after school, but alas, still nothing since the blog.

[iheartcheyenne123]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:02pm

WOW 4 hours Katt? you are fast :P

[tlp70]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:04pm

Yes, SD, you did IM me. I think we bonded over the same irritating person. :) Luckily, she hasn't been posting much. Maybe we scared her away!

[iheartcheyenne123]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:04pm

I heard the Sister's Keeper is very sad, but a great book. I'll probably read that soon..maybe after Anthony's book

[Katt]

Posted: 1/31/06 at 4:05pm

Haha, I've been told that.

And I didn't think the Scarlet Letter was so bad. I guess I'm in the minority.
