indeed

Stephen King books are like Tom Clancy books: badly written but fun.

the only stephen king book ive read was the shining. i liked it, but it wasnt one of my favorite books.

Did you guys know that Edgar Allen Poe married his daughter

Get some real literature in your life. Read some Henry Miller. Or Albert Camus. I think you'd like [u]The Sranger[/u], by Camus. It's cold, numb, existentialism, and really good. And as for Henry Miller, [u]Tropic of Cancer[/u] changed my life. He said "cunt" more than anyone else did back then.

edit: Jesus, I need to refresh more often. This was all directed at Nick.

Haha, Clancy is such a douchebag.

Added those books you said Andre to my list of books to look for. I will raid the used book stores when I go out next. D[b][i][/b][/i]amn them for closing the only book store in Vallejo. We have no book stores here, none.

Why does everyone say Stephen Kings books are badly written, I really don't see it.

Yea. I really like Stephen King. And if people think they are badly written or use simple vocabulary... read The Catcher in the Rye. Amazing Book. Poorly written (even if it's intentional).

Just on a note about Stephen King... I could not believe the ending of the Dark Tower saga. Good books but the ending just makes it such a downfall

I think he was aiming for a crappy ending. He's weird like that.

I have the first few Dark Towers but haven't read them because they dont look appealing to me. Maybe during the summer I will challenge them. I should read Atlas Shrugged as well, the size the intimidating though.

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Catch 22 is fantastic, although I had to read some paragraphs a couple times before they made sense. You've got to really pay attention in some parts.[/QUOTE]
i guess i'll buy it in french then.

[QUOTE=skankinBassist]read The Catcher in the Rye.[/QUOTE]
its the first book i ever read in english...and i liked it.

Catcher in the Rye was alright, but it didn't stick out to me as amazing.

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Catcher in the Rye was alright, but it didn't stick out to me as amazing.[/QUOTE]
I was so proud cause I had read it all and understood everything.

You guys should read the novelization of Bring it on

I found it to be absolutely amazing and very connectable in numerous ways. I absolutely love the book. It's the kind of book you love or hate or think it's ok.

You mean like anything else ever?

Going back to King, I agree that he's a crappy writer. I can write better than he can. I think that's why I dislike Vonnegut so much. His writing comes off as so half-assed.

It was a joke, but whatever.

And, as for King, he has great ideas and stories but i dont think he likes to develop them literaturally.

I love Vonnegut. I hated Catcher in the Rye.

Yeah me too.That is the greatest book I've ever read.

the guy in the book (forgot his name) is so negative.he kinda reminded me of myself, so i guess that's why my english teacher wanted me to read this book.

Holden Caulfield. He has depression. He doesn't flat out say it, but he smokes alot, thinks of death alot, pays attention to too much detail, shuts himself out from friends and family (mainly Jane).

then my teacher can probably read my mind.

they all looked the same inside.I went to Quebec City and we went to the Tim Hortons there and it looked exactly like the one in St-Jean

Im going to Quebec city for a french trip soon, its gonna be so awesome.

You people post too **** much. I get hone and there are like 5 new pages.

Honnestly, Monday was the first time of my life I was in Quebec City, and I hated it. It's beautiful there...but people are so mean, they suck. And it's hard to find a way to get to where you want to go cause it's all one-way streets. And if you wanna eat something, you have no choice...the only restaurants I've seen in Quebec are subways.

I wish my school took cool trips :upset: .
