How was it? I actually picked up a copy of this last week, but have yet to get around to reading it.

i actually like that book a lot.

I take it it's good then.
That is, if I can trust cantankerous's opinion.

well i don't know, what color dress should i have worn last night, red or green?

Umm? I'd say green.

Has anyone read "Tale of Two Cities"? Any good?

then you can trust my opinion, because we share one.

Huh, so you were going somewhere with that.
Fine. I take it's a good book and I look forward to reading it.

It's alright. I was a bit disappointed, personally. (But it was better than "The Consolations Of Philosophy".) I think Alain de Botton just quotes other people too much and doesn't have enough of a sense of humour for me. His writing style is nothing special, he just knows a lot and can quote it. He's a great researcher, I'll give him that.

I did enjoy the final chapter on "Bohemia" though.. but mostly for the subject matter (rather than his prose or his insight into the subject.)

"Dracula" is a good read. A lot of people may not like it as its written in a series of letters but I just read it like it was a first person narrative. I saw the Francis Ford Copolla film years before and its a bit difficult to not think of it, but over all its a good book. Definately a must read, its a classic.

a collection of short stories by h.p. lovecraft

it was assigned reading for me in eighth grade and i could barely penetrate the crazy wording. i was convinced Dickens just made up his own grammar rules. i imagine it would be significantly easier to read now.

other than that, it was a pretty good story.

School books. Reading for fun is so last year.

Since reading for school is so cool.

Not cool but fucking required. I don't want to fail.

Since not failing school is so cool.

I know. Amounting to something is so underrated.

i have a GED, you cunt.

We all know picking up trash is the coolest.

Now post a picture to make up for that insult.
