View Full Version : What Book Are You Reading Right Now?
dlemond 02-27-2003, 11:47 PM Not at this minute obviously.
And not a book for school or a book on household remedies or the TV Guide.
;)
I am in the middle of reading Fast Times At Ridgemont High by Cameron Crowe which has been out of print forever.
It is similar to the movie but with a lot of subtle differences, more characters and more insight.
Pretty cool so far.

pandora_spocks 02-28-2003, 02:06 AM I'm thinking of re-reading The Virgin Suicides again. I like to re-read books. It re-opens the doors to the imagination again. Plus, I've been thinking about lines from that book for days so why not?

I love The Great Gatsby! Try to view the film as well, it's really great. It was filmed, in part, in Newport, RI at one of the famous mansions there (one of my favorite places to go).
I'm mainly reading textbooks now, but I am also reading Barbara Kingsolver's "The Poisonwood Bible."

Oh my god, I love Jane Austen! I can't believe you're reading Persuasion and Northanger Abbey, I read those, they're soooo good. Not as good as Pride & Prejudice or Sense & Sensibility, but they're good!
