What Are You Reading?

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

Just made a trip to the library and got 2 Kerouac books

YAY!

[Emily]

I'm reading what's on my Currently-Reading list on here and I'm waiting for two other books from the library.

[Kyle]

Skin Trade :D

Its so much better than I thought it was going to be :)

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

What is it?

[Kyle]

This paranormal series I have been reading. The newest one, SKIN TRADE, came out yesterday so I'm reading it :)

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

Oh, paranormal/fantasy not for me at all.

[Emily]

Me either. I can't get into it. It doesn't grasp my attention.

[Kyle]

lol I told you I read anything and everything :P

I'm a very open/broad minded person :D...for a rich bitch :D

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

I'm really not when it comes to writing/literature, I'm a total snob. I really only read the classics, philosophy, poetry or otherwise snooty literature

[Kyle]

lol I'm the total opposite, I give everything a shot. :D

[Emily]

I try to give everything a shot. I'm just usually picky about it afterward. They say, "Don't judge a book by it's cover"....well I have to. The cover has to look interesting, along with the title, and then i read the preview thingy on the back or inside and then the first few pages. If it grasps my attention, I get it.

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

Cover doesn't really matter to me, I guess. I just have about 1000 books to read before I read anything contemporary I guess.

[Emily]

Well the cover doesn't matter most of the time, for me.

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

So many books to read, just not enough time.

[Emily]

I agree.

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

That's why I'm going to college for 12 years haha, so I can just read and read.

[Emily]

Why college when you can do just do that in the real world...

[Emily]

I plan on going to college for 8 years or so that way i can get my bachelor's and master's

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

So I can get doctorate's in Philosophy and English-Lit

[Emily]

oooh ok

Finished!

[Katie]

cool! was it good?

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

I enjoyed it. You probably wouldn't though, because Andrew Jackson actually believed in representing and helping the people.

[Emily]

omg how did i know you were going to insult her in some way possible?

[Katie]

I'm always interested in a good book even if it might not be my way of opinion. I like to have an open mind when I read books.

I'm sure.

Emily wrote: "omg how did i know you were going to insult her in some way possible?"

Because that is how I am.

[Emily]

Ehhh, true :P

[Katie]

Well it's okay Emily, you kind of get use to it when all you try to do is have a nice conversation with him... And I'm going to look into the book.

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

If your going to read about politics, get something basic that actually explains to you what is going on. Don't read history; read current events stuff, or political philosophy. Maybe you'll begin to understand how the world actually works instead of how you think it should be.

[Katie]

Okay, I have summer reading I have to do antways so might as well read more! :) So how was your week?

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

I just read and wrote.

[Katie]

Awesome! Did you get alot done?

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

No, not really.

[Katie]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that...

[Davis, Staunchly Liberal (someone has to be)]

The point isn't to 'get stuff done'. It is to try and learn how to express in words what the spirit feels it needs to say.

[Katie]

I know that, it's just that you have such a strong heart and mind it's unexpected that you couldn't say everything in one word... :) (strong headed)

[Katie]

hey i g2g!

[[deleted user]]

I'm going to start reading The Metamorphosis by Kafka. It's the first book for summer reading.

I hate summer reading. This is like the fiftieth time I've done it.

[Katie]

It's not even that. It's all the million writing assignments that go along with reading the books.

[Lauren]

Hm. We got to choose our own books. :

[Katie]

well we have to do a test about the books and write an essay bout it...

[Kyle]
