(no subject)
I watched the original Dirty Dancing last night. It was the lamest "classic" since Britney Spears Greatest Hits. I had to stare at my feet during some scenes to keep from laughing during all the wrong parts (kim was singing with the music and saying "awww" periodically.)
I also read My Name is Asher Lev for the second time yesterday. I randomly found it lying around while i was eating breakfast and ended up spending half the day just sitting and reading it all at once, a bad habit i've had since third grade. haha. It was interesting reading about another very strict, very othordox religious tradition, because i've grown up surrounded by one all my life. It's a strange thing, really a whole different world that you cant understand until you have been inside the culture firsthand.
I wish i read more. I want to find some interesting books. I've read a lot of the "classics"...of mice and men, the catcher in the rye, to kill a mockingbird, animal farm, 1984, the grapes of wrath, huckleberry finn, cat's cradle, crime and punishment (soooo long), their eyes were watching god, pride and prejudice, a wrinkle in time, ect ect a lot more...and i've read a lot of the very popular contemporary books, such at harry potter, the da vinci code, the kite runner, a million little peices (fraudulent), go ask alice, the perks of being a wallflower, ender's game, the lord of the rings (all 3! i was proud of myself), eragon, ect ect. Anyone read something good lately that isnt on this list? I like fiction, and the occasional biography/autobiography IF the person actually has a life worth writing about. I'm not really TOO into sci-fi, but i'll read it if it's good writing.
