New Twilight Thread: Forks or La Push? Hmmmmmm....

[ThePin Princess]

yes. book two was not my favorite because i dont like jacob and the writing was terribly slow. but eclipse was my favorite i though that writing was fantastic!

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Eclipse.. I found so-so. It wasn't exactly great, but she did try to go back to her non-sophisticated, simple style which is what drew people to her in the first place.

But hey if you love 'em, you love 'em.

 

[ThePin Princess]

exactly

what books do you like??

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Harry Potter

Meg Cabot (but definitely not for the writing- they're trashy romance novels for teens and YA xD)

Left to Tell was a great book

The Luxe (was fun, scandalous read set in the 1800's in NY)

A Great and Terrible Beauty (pretty good...)

I liked The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

I suggest Zel for a quick, quick read! (Rapunzel story)

Hmm.. I need to read more, I've been meaning to read Jane Austen's Persuasion xD

Jane Eyre is a good book

The 5 People you Meet in Heaven- great!!

xD yeahh

 

[CastawayJ]

the time travelers wife
2001 a space oddyssy
the last hot time
the accedental time machine

nothing else too recently
I need too lose myself in a book again

 

[ThePin Princess]

i'm reading weithering heights at the moment

someone tell me if i spelt that wrong

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

*Wuthering Heights

I liked that book.. a little boring in spots, and I lost my place, but I liked it.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

I just finished A Walk to Remember today. So sad!

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

That's another one that needs to go on my list!

I just finished Huck Finn for school- but I liked it a lot!!
And I'd been meaning to read Mark Twain for a long time.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

We're reading Huck Finn, too, Alice.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I keep thinking how much of a genious Mark Twain must've been.. if you didn't know better you'd think Huck was real and wrote it!

His use of the language is amazing.

 

[AmandaSparks730]

It's confusing at first, but once you get into it, it's great!

 

[ThePin Princess]

I attempted Moby Dick but i was only 13 so ill try again when im 15

 

[AmandaSparks730]

I can't wait til next year, when we do Brit Lit.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I have a list of things I want to read:
Treasure Island
any Sherlock Holmes
The Wizard of Oz
The Great Gatsby
Gone with the Wind

This year, thanks to English class, I completed my task of reading Emily Dickinson poetry.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I can't wait til next year, when we do Brit Lit.

I have 2 choices next year:
AP composition or
Advanced Writing + elective (Mythology, Women in Lit, British Lit, etc)

 

[ThePin Princess]

i'm only in 8th grade so i have no idea what youre talking about

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I really wanted to read Mansfield Park but I couldn't get through it ><

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

I am in 11th grade so I have already read a lot of those books. I read Huck Finn so long ago like almost four years. I am in A.P. Lang and all we do is read essays and speaches. This is the last year I have to take an English class but I love it so I will probably take it again
