Ok so im not a huge fan of reading books, unless i find one that is just amazing that i cant put down. Well i hate in school when they make you read certain books. Like now I have to read the great Gatsby and i cant even make it to the 2nd chapter its boreing and im allready lost lol.

*grr* Reading is amazing cannot go a day without it.

kitty_kat · April 2010

lol its not neccisarly reading im venting about, more that we have to read books that are chosen for us. Instead of picking ones that fit are intrests.

ImportsandLines · April 2010

Well yeah, if I don't pick them its going to be one long book.

I loved The Great Gatsby, but I hated things like To Kill a Mockingbird. I love reading with a passion, but I know exactly what you are saying, because I used to say it too! I wish they gave options, or least let students pick their own books from time to time.

When I had time to read [lol, I'm on the computer now...], and I had a book that I haven't read already [all my books are read at least twice ): ], I would read a book a day. My parents are pissed because they spend money on books I read in a day. D<

I love reading. I always have to have new books that I get from a store- not from a library. We also are reading The Great Gatsby.. I don't really like it xD. Im not lost or anything but I don't find it interesting in the least. We are on chapter 8 so yay, it's almost over.

Has anyone ever read/seen the movie called "My Brother Sam Is Dead" ?? We just got done reading it in L.A. class. I love it.

I randomly came across that book through the school's library when I was in elementary school. It's been one of those books I'll never forget. Instant fav. I never knew there was a movie for it. I'll have to check it out. The books I did enjoy in school(the ones we were forced to read) were Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, and Of Mice and Men....and possibly a few others. I probably wouldn't have picked up any of them, had they not been assigned.

Im reading a REALLY great book right now. If i hadnt seen the movie preview and wanted to watch the movie really bad i doubt i ever wouldve read it but it is GREAT! Its called The Lovely Bones. I got it on my Kindle and it is AMAZING!!!

I love reading, it's just hard for books to catch my attention because I am picky or not motivated. xD Currently I am reading....The Bible. XD Well, I kind of stopped but I am trying to get through the while thing. Anyways, I found this really great book called "House" I started reading it and it was awesome, then I made the mistake of watching the movie while reading the book and after watching the movie I was like *_* and didn't pick the book up again. 8D

I've never heard of her before.

My favorite author would probably be Larry McMurtry.

Dude I totally get where you're coming from. When I read my eyes get restless and like skip words.. nystagmus!.. even though I WISH I could read.I always hated the books I read in school. Some of them even made me nauseous. The select few I specifically remember were Lord of the Flies, The Chrysalids, and Brave New World. Don't ever read them.. unless of course you have to for school. Gross.. gross.. grosssssssssssss. Maybe school actually ruined reading for me.

reina__ · April 2010

Yes, it was an unfortunate book.

kitty_kat · April 2010

Lovely Bones was an excellent book. And 13 Reasons Why was AMAZING. I loved that book. It's sad though ):

Kaley1 · April 2010

Anyone ever read/heard of Mary Downing Hahn? I

her. I've read two books of her so far. Funny story: Once I was done with her book called Deep and Dark and Dangerous I told my teacher about it and she read the first three pages or so and was like OMG! So now she and one of my other teachers have read MY book and they LOVED it, even thought it's kinda like...a kid book, sorta kinda, I guess. xD

TwlohasGSDs · April 2010

I read Wait Til Helen Comes. It was good!

reina__ · April 2010

Lol last full book I read was The Shack. Couldn't put it down. And that's saying a lot for someone that can barely read English.
