LOL, I thought this would be easy, sorry.
I am still reading "Lord of the Flies" and am really enjoying it. I keep staying up too late to read because I am not getting much reading time during the day. (However, I did complete my draft of my thesis, so not reading during the day to complete that is allowable!)I am also going to be starting "Bodies that Matter" by Judith Butler - the queen of feminist/queer studies.
(Whispering to Jeremy so Lori doesn't hear...when you are 18 and a band is singing a song they wrote for you, regardless of the name, it is pretty uplifting!)
What, actually Jane Eyre? the whole thing? How cool would THAT be????
Definitely pride.

I am also reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my daughter.
(Whispering - ok, I get it now. Sounds fun)

No. Next clue - you will get it after this.Hitchcock made the film.
LOL Stacie! You are the winner! Actually, Charity wins the gold medal.
Whoo hoo! Got it without the Hitchcock reference...I think. Rebecca, right?
Yes. That's me.
Well that was fun,though you'll always be Boof to me.
LOL, Charity. What about Bluedaizy? who else has got a nickname?
Lolita is a Prince song, by the way.
My cousins used to call me LoLita ... when we were little
Mod
It was fun tho!!!! Charity, Queen again.... Damn...
Dare we ask why, Lorena?
Was it pronounced LoLeeeta ?
Nothing weird, I am Lorena-Liliann so just to make it short ... we called my cousin Elizabeth, Chabelita, and Guillermo Memito ... he he he I haven't thought of that for so long.
Funnily enough, when you first joined the group, it took me a while to realize people were referring to you when they wrote Boof. I thought it was a little onomatopoeia thrown in to add color to their posts...like 'BOOF! I ran into the wall'. I'm a bit slow.
Hm, I thought I was the only person who said "funnily enough". AND I have to stop reading this because laughter is still side splitting for me.
LOL!!!!!!!! That's so cool, Charity. BOOF! I like it.
I'm about 80 pgs into Blood Meridian. I hope others have read it because I'm going to have to talk about it when I'm done...haha.
...and then I killed the thread.*it is eerily quiet all of a sudden*
I like it so far. I'm becoming a big McCarthy fan really fast. There are passages that remind of some twisted conglamoration of The Iliad and William Faulkner. The man can just flat out write.

If enough people have read the book Jesse, you can post a topic in the Book Discussions folder so you can talk about it without interupption....Logan started one with Blindness and there is one for The Road, neither were offical Group reads, but there was enough interest in both to generate alot of talk.....
Can't wait to tuck into the Border Trilogy.I'm becoming a big fan of his writing as well.
Ah. The book that caused me great pains, Sherry. :-)I was very determined.
But I'm only about 1/4th of the way through it. It's incredibly violent and I'll just have to see if, at some point, I just start feeling like it's just too over the top.
Thank ya, Lori. I may just do that.
