I still can't believe you haven't read to kill so mocking bird. I don't remember much of it it's been so long, maybe I'll re read it. anna and the french kiss has been at the to of my to read list. I've tried to start it and I always get distracted

[americnxidiot]

I wanted to like it just so I could sound smart and say I did. If you say you didn't like it, people always give you that well clearly you are too stupid to get it look that makes me want to kick them in the nuts. Because most of them have been dudes. Lol.

[americnxidiot]

erghhhh. i understand (sort of) the pretention, but the misogyny would make me give those guys a kick in the nuts.

[americnxidiot]

yeah. idk. the honors courses at my high school were weird. i haven't read any george orwell, to kill a mockingbird, and i didn't read any jane austen/charlotte bronte until i got to college.

[americnxidiot]

nope, we didn't read dickens either. we watched a christmas carol around the holidays but that was about it. we did read shakespeare though! tempest/hamlet/macbeth/romeo&juliet/julius caesar.

To Kill A Mockingbird is one of two books that I had to read in high school that I read again voluntarily after I graduated. The other is The Count Of Monte Cristo.

Amazing book.

[americnxidiot]

oooh i've read the count of monte cristo? but i have the strong suspicion it was an abridged version. hmm. but yeah i'm looking forward to read TKaM.
