I loved Huck Finn. Much better than Tom Sawyer

After you read Huck Finn it's all just a blur of events. I have respect for Mark Twain and his works but how he writes his books (sentence and word structure), I just can't stand that. Each night I would read our assigned section and then read what SparkNotes said was in that section to see if what I was reading was accurate. It was interesting when you came to class and there was three different opinions on what happened when we're all reading the same book.

Twilight.

And I think i fell in love with a fictional character...

:/

I just finished it.
I'm getting books 2-4 for Christmas. I'm excited!
I have an Edward Cullen picture on my MySpace! It just made me tingle a little inside whenever he touched Bella's face & they described it.

The Great Gatsby, I'm like 30 pages from the end, don't really like it.

No I meant that as, OMG it was so boring. haha I'm not one for "classics" really.
Besides Edgar Allen Poe, I looooove his works.

I wasn't a fan. I'm not a fan of most really old stuff either. The oldest stuff I can really enjoy at all is some of Shakespeare's plays (except when they're performed I can't stand them..which I think is the opposite of most people, but whatever, lol.)

same.

I'm retracting this statement.

I read that book in like 8th grade and thought it was dumb, but I'm reading it now and I actually really like it.
