I do believe SIDDHARTHA is on that list :-S brings back memories of shame, where i merely held the book in my hand and felt physically ill. hahahaha

there are some AWESOME books on that list tho :-D

lookin forward to school? :-S I know I'm not.

Haha... notice I did NOT put Siddhartha in bold. In fact, if there were any way to make something less bold than unbolded, that's what that book would be in. Or... you know what I mean. It's a bad book! That's what I'm trying to say. :P

And yes! There are some good'uns on there. I agree fully.

Um... sometimes yes and sometimes no. I'm taking a creative writing class online so that should be fun and I'm kind of looking forward to that and having something to do all day (I can get pretty bored sometimes), but I know I'm definitely NOT looking forward to homework and hard stuff that I don't understand. Whatever, it'll be fine. I wish everyone didn't have to go back to school, though -- it's nice when everyone's home to hang out with.

Wow, I write more than I mean to. :P Hopefully I'll see you around campus more this semester than last semester!

haha yeah I was gettin a little scared when there was mentioning of bolding the books. I immediately looked to make sure siddhartha stayed in non-bolded format. you did good :-D

we should see each other on campus (here's for hopin') now since i have class EVERY day but tuesday (until march, then ill have it then too) until im out for surgery again :-S
this semester totally bites ass for me since I can't do any of my EMT courses or dance. it's pretty much a bunch of boring crap, but at least I'll get it out of the way.

see ya soon!

Harry Potter? anonymous January 15 2007, 03:27:54 UTC

Seems like cheating to list the Harry Potter books. And how can you read those again? Well, how do you read books twice, in general? That's weird.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. When a book is over 500 pages long, I don't care if I've read it 80 times already -- it counts. All books count! I still have to take the time to sit down and read every word just like if it had been the first time I'd read them. Plus, I haven't read those books in years. Yes, I know pretty much everything that happens in them, but the later (bigger) books I don't know as well so there's new-seeming stuff in them too. Plus, if you're going to tell me which ones not to count, the number one book I shouldn't counting is Brokeback Mountain -- that's like 50 pages long, and definitely the most cheaty of all the books on the list ( ... )

And Siddhartha was a pretty sweet book.
