I'm reading the first Twilight book! About a girl who falls in love with a vampire. It's SO GOOD! I can't stop reading it! The movie looks like it's going to be wicked good too. If you're looking for a good book, go read it!

I'm reading On The Road by Jack Kerouac and sometimes Novels for one year by Luigi Pirandello (I have to read it for school but the short novels are pretty good! Pirandello was a great author). Before these I've read The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. I sooo didn't like it! It's really bad in my opinion.

OMG I read The Metamorphosis when I was a sophomore in high school for english class. It's SO BAD! It's awful. I don't know why it's considered a "classic." About some guy who turns in a bug??? So weird. It was short but not worth the time lol I didn't enjoy any of it

You're right! I don't like what he does and thinks, the way it ends, etc., first I don't like the idea of someone turning a bug...I really don't understand why it should be a classic. The only good thing is that is short! Our Italian teacher gave it to read in the summer and talking with my classmates, no one liked it! I guess when school starts again we have something to say to this teacher!! lol! ;D

Ya'll reading the Twilight books. The last installment is the most masochistic thing I've ever laid my eyes on.

Baaaaad.

As for me, I'm looking at the list of texts that are going to wind me up in debt for my fall semester. The excitement of tree sap is ahead of me! Oh joy; oh rapture.

Do you mean the latest book that just came out, Breaking Dawn, or the one before that, Eclipse?

[HollywoodHepcat]

I just finished reading Myrna Loy: Being And Becoming. It's such a turn around from Ginger Rogers' autobiography. One gets the impression from GR's book that she was all about her career as an actress--not so with Loy. Myrna had an incredible mind and was a great humanitarian. As usual after reading these autobios I've picked a out a few movies I want to hunt down. Now I'm reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
