Yes, I read that - but if you really did appreciate those works, and they really are your favourite works - why should you be ashamed of that? I think that's silly. You shouldn't cover up your interests say, by saying that your favourite books are Lemony Snicket or something. I don't think that you should make yourself appear more "normal" by listing those instead of what you do enjoy. It's like Jessica Simpson pretending that she's more stupid than she is. I think it's just insulting to yourself.
I don't think that's quite a fair judgment - everyone has different facets to their personalities and interests. I have great friends that love watching Family Guy and reading Harry Potter, while enjoying other books like Crime and Punishment and Nausea. I know biochem majors that are obsessed with Harry Potter...I don't think that's an assumption that if someone's other interests are less scholarly then their reading list, then the person must be trying to be pretentious..
For me, it just shows that she's well rounded.
I think most people have read some or all of the Iliad sometime in their lives - it's commonly used as part of the English curriculum in classrooms today. I read it on my own but then it was covered again when I was a freshman in high school, and for many years on beyond parts of it were tapped for reading in other classes I had as well.

Hello Meg. I understand what you are saying, but I do agree you are being very presumptuous and discriminating as well. If you think Kemp is trying to pretend she is smart, here are some facts you might like to consider:
She was raised on Greek literature; mom read her Greek mythology when she was growing up.
She was winning poetry contests since she was 8. She won the Coca-cola poetry contest before a middle aged man's second place and a college girl's third when she was 9.
She has a book in its editing stage, that she wrote when she was 15, and every time she reads it over she tries changing it, though I think It is absolutely brilliant the way it is. She has been writing screen plays for movies for the past 2 years, two of which have been considered for films.
She is dating Matthew Gubler by the way, I forgot who asked that, but I'll go ahead and confirm it while I am typing. And they are quite happy, too. They only recently returned from a Halloween trip together. The two have been in a few photo shoots together, very sweet pictures.
She is wholly fascinated by the Iliad and the Odyssey, and her current favorite is Dante's Inferno. She read it and wrote a few poems inspired by it, and then she told me to, so I am reading it now.
Kemp was raised in the environment of excellence, forbidden to read what mom considered worthless books like you think most teens should read. SO I suppose at first it wasn’t a self made choice, but when we acquired a taste for the books they became our own obsessions, desiring more knowledge, and asking each other questions, although I did smuggle in Goosebumps books for a few months, until we got tired of them. Same went for movies. If we watched films we watched documentaries or whichever films mom found suitable (Based on whatever grade the critics had given), and even then, Mom would watch them first and then sit by and explain the significance of every miniature detail to us. I still remember watching Shakespeare in Love and her pointing out which facts were actually true, and then what all was just the Hollywood directors distorting fact and creating their own fabricated fiction. Which didn’t prevent us from conjuring up romantic fairytales and spending whole days writing them into books together. We would sit at the computer or out by the lake together writing stories. She’d give me an idea, I would elaborate with something of my own from what she gave me, or I would give her something for her to further. And if we were going to watch a film, we had to sit in our room and paint until we had either almost completed or fully completed a finished canvas. All our friends were adults; our parents' associates, we never really had childhood friends, so we grew up this way, and are now meticulously fascinated by history and mythology.
Whenever we are abroad, she much more than I, we study the country’s culture, visiting museums and sanctuaries, taking what tours we can, absorbing every detail our senses can withstand.
Kemp is fascinated with the more pastoral areas in Japan, and has been working hard on learning the language, aside from knowing a bit of Italian and French, though I do most of the French translation. She got us lost in Tokyo so she could ask everyone directions and work on her language skills. Of course it did not matter that it was already reasonably morning and there were dark alleys everywhere. Anyhow, I have spent enough time praising my kin, if you have any other assumptive statements to make, I shall meet you with whatever knowledge you need to convince you otherwise. She is true to her word, and her intellect far surpasses many youths of her age.
Kemp is 17, by the way, not 18 as the first message posted here considered.
Blessings to you all,
And please, I ask you not make concrete assumptions around things of which you know nothing, especially if they insist on being derogatory, but rather ask me if you hear something. If I can do anything through this chat board it would be to dispel false suppositions.

Sasha I had no idea you had a magazine cover right now!! What magazine?!!
MM-This is a topic about kemp and we are allowed to argue about her intellectual merits!!

So essentially what you are saying is, this is indeed a chat board about Kemp, but you really don't know anything about kemp, nor what she does, or really want to know what anyone thinks about her, and really don't think anything about her yourself, only you want to accuse her of something, and then not take any other facts into consideration. Alright. Good luck enjoying life outside of your self-conceited prison.
haha whoa how the tide has turned. No, I don't know anything about her nor do I really care to beyond an aesthetic point. There are some models' whose personality I am interested in getting to know. An example of one is model mom's own daughter who I think is beautiful and intelligent but she, nor her family, come off as selfrighteous. Right now, Kemp is not one of them. At least I'm honest about it. Welcome to the real world. I never said I wouldn't discuss her aesthetically and misako and I had a very decent conversation about it. And how did not caring about Kemp morph into only caring about myself? Committing the same crimes you are accusing me of is only going to destroy your argument.

That was rather harsh, at the end. I am sorry, but If you are not interested in her, then why are you here, arguing in this chat room?
