    The Thing About Georgie

    It didn't seem like a good book mostly because it was about a midget. I read some of it, but it didn't pull me in AT ALL.

    Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austin. Luckily, we made up for it that yaer by also reading The Portrait of Dorian Gray and Frankenstein. Those books kicked ass.

    Fahrenheit 451.
    I hated that book.
    I couldn't even finish it.

    I think it was just the time I was reading it, I was really bored with my class, but I just skipped that book.

    "The Bridge to Terabithia" that book was so horrible, made me want to go on a video game binge.

    De Avonden (lit. The Evenings) by Gerard Reve.
    Dutch dude strolls through the last days of December being scared of growing bald, grabbing women's boobs, having stupid nightmares and generally being a dull no-lifer.
    I would have liked it if only it were 90% shorter.

    I can't get myself to read 1984 and it is supposed to be in my genre of reading.

    "The Blue Girl" by Charles deLindt (sp?)

    It wasn't UBER bad. The story was somewhat original. It got totally weird near the end, though. I like weird, but this was not an "interesting" weird. This was a completely messed weird. Like the "author was trying to hard to be weird" weird.

    'Lord of the Flies' That book is seriously messed up, I hated it and we read it soo slowly, analysing every little bit. Plus I think I'm gonna have to read it again for my normal English. Not looking forward to that.

    'All Quiet on the Western Front'. I'm all for the Combat action, but this? Shoot me silly. The infinite 10+ lettered words didn't really up the wow factor either. I guess reading German war books really aren't my forte.. :sleepy:
