I tried reading The Sun Also Rises once, and I just couldn't do it. I got halfway through and was like "I'M DONE! I CAN'T FINISH THIS!"

natural_disaster · 07-13-2009, 05:14 PM

Ooh, we're talking about books?

Jory, me too. I forced myself to finish it but when I was done, I was like, NO. NEVER, EVER, EVER READING HEMINGWAY AGAIN.

Air · 07-13-2009, 05:23 PM

OMG I LOVE HEMINGWAY YOU PEOPLE ARE BREAKING MY HEART!

I've only read The Sun Also Rises though. But I loved it to death! I'm about to start The Old Man and the Sea. I love disillusioned 1920's writing so much. I love Fitzgerald a whole lot more though. Gatsby and Tender is the Night are

And ok Jory I will take that into consideration about RPattz if I ever see anything else of his. I won't tolerate Twilight though and will probably always have a grudge.

GATSBY!

OMG that is my favorite book EVER. I'm so in love with it. Fitzgerald is a wonderful writer.

Air · 07-13-2009, 05:28 PM

Fitzgerald owns my soul! Seriously. I have to read This Side of Paradise this summer. But I'm scared to read The Last Tycoon because it's unfinished I think and I'm afraid I'll be frustrated forever.

natural_disaster · 07-13-2009, 05:36 PM

I need to write a list of books I need to read.

Air · 07-13-2009, 05:37 PM

Me too. My mom's been on my ass for not reading this summer. And my friend wants me to read the Sookie Stackhouse series but I have too much snobby literature I need to read first. This summer I'm going to try and do:

This Side of Paradise
The Old Man and the Sea
Exodus

Amy, I've been making a list since January.

It's literally 14 pages long.

Ooh, really?

Like what's on it?

I got several books when I was up in Portland this weekend.

New books make me extremely happy.

Geez, I can't even begin to mention.

There's some Dave Eggers, some more Fitzgerald, the rest of the Janet Evanovich books, the Gossip Girl series because I haven't read it yet...and a bunch more.

Air · 07-13-2009, 05:59 PM

I want to get a volume of all Fitzgerald's short stories. But I have to read Exodus this summer because I want to remake the movie.

natural_disaster · 07-13-2009, 06:03 PM

Word of advice on reading the Gossip Girl series: don't expect it to be ANYTHING like the tv show.

I love the books for being the trashy teen novels that they are, and they're fun, but they're as different as the show as possible.

that's a bingo · 07-13-2009, 06:04 PM

I know, that's why I want to read them.

I still haven't seen all of Season 2 yet.

natural_disaster · 07-13-2009, 06:08 PM

Yeah, word of advice on that too: DON'T.

Seriously. I know Air enjoyed it, and others did too, but I despised it.

But if you are going to watch, skip 215-222.

And 224.

Basically, all the Chuck/Blair & Blair/Nate insanity eh?
