Saw the movie though, which was good.<br /><br />Twilight - That's a modern book that I just couldn't get into either. OMG - FIFTH graders are obsessing over this series. I couldn't get past the first chapter, kind of blah...<br /><br />I've never heard of some of some of the others mentioned by everyone - like Longbourn's Unexpected Matchmaker.<br /><br />I have to admit - I haven't read anything by Steinbeck. <br /><br />See? I feel a little un-literary worthy...Not really. I like what I like, and don't like what I don't like! :)Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063358136590143066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-3293620456314129542010-04-14T16:35:23.411-07:002010-04-14T16:35:23.411-07:00I am going to add one only because it is the only ...I am going to add one only because it is the only book that sticks in my mind as a "Classic" and since was made to read it in school did finish it of course and hated every second had to read it!!! (I cannot believe there actually was a book could say that about, I love to read any and everything) <br />"To Kill a Mockingbird" I am sorry, like the movie somewhat but the book was not and will never be my cup of tea.<br />I hate to admit this but bought, read and even somewhat enjoyed every book in the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles and it did not make me depressed in the least. I liked the Witches of Mayfair series better and have since gotten rid of almost all my Rice books last few years and replaced them with new authors who are pretty much just as "dark" as she was back in the day but who somehow do not come across as "gloomy".<br /><br />jackie b central texasJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181111718630957098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-85240619047892046872010-04-14T16:21:30.875-07:002010-04-14T16:21:30.875-07:00I seond that on the The hobbitt!

I really like that book (not sure if I love it though). haha it's really not that big a deal if you don't like it, I really don't like Emma by Janue Austen.<br /><br />I think meme is a sort of reminder or something you do every week. But wiat, I take that back. I'm thinking of memo! lol, I have no idea. Also apparentely it's pronounced meem, but I pronounce it mem :p<br /><br />My list would be<br />1. Our Town by Thorton Wilder-so boring. and a duh revelation.<br />2. Twilight by Stephanie Meyer-Bella was just an useless sap, she needed to quit moping and being obsessed!<br />3. The Clique Series by Lisi Harrison (my friends were addicted to this series in middle school, I thought the girls were shallow idiots)MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-2834105552795002852010-04-14T14:35:04.435-07:002010-04-14T14:35:04.435-07:00for me

I had a hard time with the language and as you said the characters were so dull and nothing really happens in the whole book. I'm enjoying Longbourn's Unexpected Matchmaker by Emma Hox much more. She takes the same characters and really brings them to life, with so much more personality.LibraryGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228787848421626358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-32836613235175785292010-04-14T06:39:27.937-07:002010-04-14T06:39:27.937-07:00For me:
