Ah yes.. Legolas... *swoons while drooling* lol

I also read 'Where the Red Fern Grows'.  I didn't cry, but it was very sad... it was a required book in the 6th grade I sink.

Hello Everyone! I'm back from my vacation. While I was gone, I have picked up a couple of books that I'll tell you about. But first, I just want to say to Sway, that I've read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, for school, and my class was the last class to read it because it was put on the banned reading list for my school district the year after. It was very different though. I like Ray Bradbury...but I think that if you're going to read him...start out with his short-stories so you can get the feel for the type of crazy and wild....uh...ideas he comes up with.

Okay, so, while I was on my trip, I read....

1. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
        Oh my goodness!!! Such a great book!!! I loved it. It's one of the first suspence fiction novels ever written....I think the second. The first was also written by Wilkie Collins. Anyway, it's a great story filled with all the great components of a great novel; suspence, intrigue, deciet, romance, and great characters. I loved this book. I reccomend it to everyone.

2.  Walden by Henry David Thorough
          Don't read this book until you are forced to. It's not even a book...it's a bunch words put together that keeps your attention just about as well as an educational science video. (science really isn't my thing) Henry David Thorough is a genius, yes, but that doesn't mean that his genius is easily appreciated. I recommend this book to philosophers, but if you're not a philosopher...then I don't even have to warn you against the book because as soon as you read the first sentence you'll put it down and never want to pick it up again anyway. In case you're wondering...for me, it's required reading for school.

3.   A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
        Okay, I know I said this was a good book on a previous post...but I finished it, and looking back on the whole thing, I didn't like it. Throughout the whole book I was hoping it would get better and that Hemingway's thoughts would have strayed a little bit away from...um...well, like I said before, think Moulin Rouge. But it never got better. It ends ubuptly (did I spell that right) and without any morals...any that were clearly stated or made any sense to me, anyway.

4.  The first four chapters of my history textbook for next year....
           The only part of my review that may interest you is....I found it ten times more entertaining than Walden.

Talk to you all soon!

some books I would like to recomend are:
1) When the wind blows, pop goes the weasel, and roses are red, all by James Patterson.
pg-13

2)Also, the Redwall series by Brian Jacques
these are really good, they may seem odd in the beginning, because it's about a bunch of mice and moles and whatnot that live in this brick building called redwall abbey.(I know i probably sounded like a rambling drunkie, but oh well)

oooooooooooohh!!!!! SneakyPeeves, were the only ones who know of the His Dark Materials series! i'm at the beginning of the last book. I will also recomend them, for they are also good.
