I want to reread The Lovely Bones and Rebecca

firewall

Rebecca is one of my favorite books.

I don't put anything in my parents' basement or attic that I ever hope to find again.

Unfortunately we run out of room and it has to go in the basement. At least the stuff I put down there is organized with all my stuff.

Rebecca is one of the only books I was given to read during my school years that I actually liked. The movie didn't compare - sorry, Hitchcock.

BehrItAll

I like plenty of books given in HS.

I'd say I liked about half the books I had to read in HS. Rebecca was undoubtedly my favorite of the bunch, though.

I had to read Things Fall Apart in H.S. and I hated it. I loved Hamlet, MacBeth, & Rebecca the most.

BehrItAll

I read Rebecca on my own.

MacBeth is great!

I hated The Red Badge of Courage.

I read Rebecca for school and then re-read it on my own.

Everything by Shakepeare is great!

And, confession time, I never actually read Jane Eyre! I was supposed to, but I didn't.

BehrItAll

Vic is reading it and says it is boring.

I cheated and read the cliffnotes of The Red Badge of Courage to pass the tests.

Jane Eyre? So, I'm not missing anything apparently.

I'm sure you weren't the only one.

LilMouse

I can't care about Jane Eyre. It's not that it's difficult to read. Just that the story doesn't interest me. I want to know what happens, but it's just so difficult for me to pick up the book.

BehrItAll

I don't think I was.

I've been having trouble picking up Tess of the D'Ubervilles.

LilMouse

^ too long for you?

I loved that book. I liked the way it was written because I could never be that poetic .

BehrItAll

The poetry is nice but it's too much to absorb. I find myself exhausted after one chapter.
And I am tired of this milkmaid era. I want the drama to start already.
