Honeymoon

[mmeeshal]

I actually got emotionally involved in it.  Getting mad at Frankenstein for being so stupid and insensitive; feeling bad for his monster.

 

I wouldn't read it for fun, but in a classroom setting where we discussed our thoughts on the book and wrote essays on our interpretations of themes in the novel, it was quite a good read.

Yes, well, I don't read books to do critical analyses of them, I read books to enjoy them. I don't look for deeper meanings.

[mmeeshal]

I usually don't either.

 

I was in AP English.  I didn't have a choice in the matter.

 

But I find that reading classics like that, for the purpose of finding deeper meanings, is good, every once in a while.

Man, my high school sucked. Senior English we only read three things: Macbeth, 1984, and Pride and Prejudice. Macbeth I already knew, and I learned never to go anywhere near Orwell again.

[mmeeshal]

We read Frankenstein, Oedipus Rex, The Sound and the Fury, part of Bartleby, and we had a poetry section.

 

I think that's all we did...

[reyler]

Pride and Prejudice I actually liked, though high school being now eight years in the past, I don't remember what I liked about it. Also my English teacher gave me personally a recommendation for The Fountainhead, which I liked, even if Ayn Rand didn't seem to really think through all of her ideas too well.

[mmeeshal]

Ooo, I read Pride & Prejudice for fun, and I loved it.  I tried to read Emma, but I couldn't get past the first few pages, though the movie was good.  I read Jane Eyre and loved that too.

 

My Creative Writing class's student teacher recommended the Wheel of Time to me. :D

[FallingBullets]

well then...

 

reylers younger than I though 0.o

[Thorum]

Not all of our ages need 4 numbers to write down...

[FallingBullets]

unless your up for writing down fractions

[mmeeshal]

We here at DM don't go by real ages, fools!

 

We go by the true age of each person's heart, assuming they have one, even. ;)

[Thorum]

*counts*

 

That's more than 4 numbers :(

[FallingBullets]

I am not counting

[mmeeshal]

Can you?

[FallingBullets]

yes I can...I read maths at uni :p

[mmeeshal]

I guess that makes you special...

[SBoydW]

or just kinda special... it just depends on who you ask.

[mmeeshal]

Well, I'm asking you. O.O

[SBoydW]

But I never answer anything... so that's kinda silly..

[FallingBullets]

[SBoydW]

[FallingBullets]

yeah, mistakes mistakes

[SBoydW]

more like a blunder

[FallingBullets]

EXPLOSION!
