the great gatsby, because i have to for school.

I'm reading that for school, too! I love the book though, this is the 2nd or 3rd time that I've read it now, and I never seem to get tired of Fitzgerald's writing...

"Flyboy Action Figure Comes With Gas Mask"

[LaceFab4]

also, 1984 by George Orwell was good. though i didnt like the ending, and i wasnt much interested in the topic of the book, i could not put it down. it was so good!

Ohhh...amazing book, Orwell blows me away, Animal Farm was intense and riveting as well...

Has any one read Watership Down? I'm reading it now. It's really great, but also kinda strange...

 

[xiao_ai009]

^ I'm actually in the middle of Watership Down - it's a good story, but I can't say about it's full impact since I'm not done...

the great gatsby, because i have to for school.

I adore that book - read it in school and I loved it.. Gatsby's so beautifully and tragically idealistic..


1984 by Orwell, Brave New World by Huxley (love love love this book), and The Giver by Lowry... for my research paper.. and various other related titled like Utopian Thought in the Western World, and Utopias and Utopian Thought..

Confessions of an Heiress by Paris Hilton...it's riveting

i saw it yesterday...
i was browsing through the "fashion" section and it was there...
right next to all the illustration/collection/hc stuff....
so i had to take a look..... i flipped through some pages.. and its very amusing..
i had a good laugh... laughing at her..
and apparently she wants to name her child paris too....

I'm reading something dreadfully boring--Selected Sections of the Internal Revenue Code. It's for school! For fun--I'm reading Jemima J by Jane Green (again!).

That's what she said at muchmusic...they asked her, about how her boyfriend's name is paris and what they would name their kids and she's like...paris and london.....btw..i was kidding..it's not that riveting..it's cute, it's funny, it's hot....but that's it

 

[Spike413]

Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis.....wow, amazing book, crazy s**t, but amazing.

 

[travolta]

the lives of a cell: notes of a biology watcher --lewis thomas

 

[lostgirl]

I strongly agree!!

I think I may be the only person in the world who didn't like that book. I'd call it a sucessfull book, because Ellis accomplished what I think he was try to with it (a satire of corporate America ca. the '80's, snobbery, greed, violence, etc. ), but I didn't enjoy the experience of reading it.

"Paradise Lost" and "Vile Bodies" both for the sixth or seventh time

Nice ying and yang, that. I love Vile Bodies, I just ordered Bright Young Things from Netflix, the movie made of it, have you seen it??

I'm reading something dreadfully boring--Selected Sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

i think i'll wait for the movie version of that one too
