What book is everyone reading?!?! - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

joblairtootnatmrs.g · 06-25-2001, 01:23 PM

Right now I'm reading The Diary of Anne Frank. My friends told me to read it and its pretty good.

The Outsiders is a good book. I had to read that last year.

Something Wicked This Way Comes is a very weird book. My English teacher made us watch the movie afterwords.

I'm so glad I don't have to do summer homework anymore.

This will seem weird, because I am neither a parent nor a diabetic child, but I am reading "Parenting a Diabetic Child" by Gloria Loring because:

1. I've heard and read many other books about what a devastating disease Juvenile Diabetes is.

2. Gloria herself is a parent of a (now grown) diabetic child, and she seems very down-to-earth as she tells stories of her experiences raising him.

3. I have a history of diabetes in my family, so I have to watch out for myself.

Well I just got back from vacation! And I finished reading "Hitchhickers..." while at the beach. It was really weird, but sooooooo funny! (I demand that I am whateverhisnamewas. No I don't demand that. It is a fact that I am whateverthenamewas. We demand facts. No! What we demand is not facts...lol it was great) I also read Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt. It was great, I really liked it...I would recomend (sp?) to anyone who like Anne of Green Gables...I have to order the other 2 sequels to "Hitchhikers.." off Amazon..has anyone read the sequels?!

Iluvjo&blair-The Outsiders is my all-time favorite book!! NO matter how old I get it'll always be my fav...I'm sure I've read it over ten times. I just finished the rainmaker and that is very good too...by the way...in case you didn't know...S.E. hinton (the writer of the outsiders) is actually a woman.

We had to read 2 books and 3 plays over the summer to get into AP English, so I just finished Othello, Death of a Salesman, Our Town, The Scarlet Letter, and the Grapes of Wrath. Took me a while, but I got through them.

Blair: Good, Jo, we'll let you do the books!

What am I reading...

Little Women (again... I am in LOVE with this book!)

Left Behind (It's kinda hard to get into but it's really good.)

Arsenic and Old Lace (This is a play, does it count?)

AOGG (Readin through the books 4 the 7th time! I'm on the 4th right now.

I hate that one.)

Um... I think that's all... There might be more... There probably are I st can't remember them! Isn't that sad?

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps not record of wrong doings. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

I have literally over 1,000 books in my house, so I'm not sure which one's I'm reading, and which ones I skim through because I'm bored. I'm currently waiting for the 9th Left Behind book, which I'm totally into! K, how can you not get into them?!?!?!? My only dissapointment with the series is the first book, and the fact that I've found typos. Each book is around 300 pages long, and I've found typos... Sad, isn't it? I'm not into fiction, unless it's realistic fiction. And I also have a policy that if the book is under 100 pages, I won't read it. I'm gonna go look at some of my books, brb... Back. One of my favorite books is The Sacred Stones, by William Sarabande. I can read it over and over, because it really has a lot of twists and turns so it's just a tad bit harder to recite it over again once you're through... Can anyone recommend me a good non-fiction or realistic fiction book? Oh, about AOGG... I <3 Anne's House of Dreams!!! Chapter 19, page 115. Dawn and Dusk... :::sigh::: I don't even have this book, I've read it 5 times, and I still cry every single time Joyce dies... (sniffle) I gotta stop typing, well, sue z q, at least I'm not off topic!

buh-byezies!
