only works when i'm dead asleep.i felt like i didn't sleep last night. i kept thinking about the book 'de donkere kamer van damokles', which i finished yesterday. i really liked it actually. i didn't really dig the fact that it was set during world war two, i would have liked it more if the story was told in an "every day life" situation. it's

i'm sorry that you dislike your literature in school. i actually really enjoy most of mine. this year we read (or have read) 'the adventures of huckleberry finn,' 'black boy,' 'the catcher in the rye,' 'the crucible,' as well as an array of short stories. i dislike 'huck finn' but i liked black boy a lot. i've already read 'catcher in the rye' and i absolutely hated it. the story itself isn't bad and it gets deep into the psyche, but it's written so poorly i can hardly pay attention to it. reading 'goddam,' 'phony,' 'sonuvabitch,' 'helluva,' and 'i got a 'bang' out of ...' just pisses me off. i really hate that book

i know you hated 'the catcher in the rye', and though i see where you're coming from, i really STRONGLY disagree. i think the language is part of the book's charm... it's a way of making holden more believable and relate-able as a character. and i love the book BECAUSE of holden as a character. he's like every teenager who was ever really down, and i love that. i think holden's a hero because he didn't do anything heroic at all, he was just like real life.

lol at the fitzgerald thing. because i just saw this movie called 'the united states of leland', where leland's father is writer albert t. fitzgerald. it's an AMAZING movie.

by the way, a week or so ago i got an e-mail from you. actually i got the same e-mail four times. i replied to that. and then a few days after my reply i got that same e-mail again. so i'm assuming something's going on with your e-mail adress. so what's up?

i haven't seen the united states of ireland. i'll see if i can get a hold of it.

i definitely didn't send the same email five times. which email is it? did you already reply to it, because if you did, i don't think i received it. i hope i don't have someone hacking my files. anyway, i must get back to listening to christina aguilera's first album, before she got slutty. (i love christina's music, just not the new image. she's coming out with a new album that's supposed to be based on 1920s style music. i'm soooo excited).
