geeze..doesn't anyone read?
« on: December 26, 2003, 08:48:52 pm »
I have just currently finished a book called life is funny by E.R Frank. It's about all these different teenagers lives that tie together at the end. It made me realize that there is a bigger world out there other than the little town that I live in. It's a kind of odd book...kinda dirty at times. If you can't take the occasional fuck here and there well this book is not for you.

Also I am reading a book called please stop laughing at me which is about a girl who got bullied so badly at school. I haven't really gotten that far in it but the book is supposed to be good and is to make people think twice about bullying.

so those are my recomendations if you read... :lol:

yeah. i read it in 5th grade. and then in 8th grade my english teach made us check out books for our 'free read time' so i just checked out holes all year and pretended i was reading it. *shrugs*

i thought it was cool though how the book told a story that took place 100 years ago and a story in the present and then tied them together in the end. that's my fave part about it.

OMG!! how can you say that!! that book will always be a cherished book in american literature. The movie was wicked awesome even though it was a tad different...if I do believe in the book it said stanley was fat...in the movie he was not fat....that makes a biiiiig difference...and in the book it said that he was always being made fun of...see biiiiiig difference...ok whatever... I dragged my dad to the movie theater to see holes and he fell asleep and when I said to him wow dad wasn't it so sad when staney and zero died from being bitten from the yellow spotted lizzards he said yes I teared up!! haha it was wicked funny.

Wow. I just finished Please stop laughing at me by Jodee Blanco and it was amazing. My hurt was filled with pain for her and happiness at the end of the book. It was a great poor. I personally thought this was an extemely powerful book which took a lot of courage for her to write considering it was about her own experiences. If you haven't read the book you should go pick it up from the library.

I'm reading Rise To Rebellion by Jeff Shaara and 1984 for school....ugh. I hate reading books for school. I'd rather read stuff I wanna read.
