but when i got my answer i just had to.







take the WHAT BAD BOOK ARE YOU test.


and go to mewing.net. not as good as reading a good book, but way better than a bad one.




i just find it highly amusing that i could never get through this book myself, and that is the book that i am. that is all...

Am I strange for loving the hobbit? I thought it was funny and a brilliant read.

I'm 'the crying of lot 49', a book I had to read last year. It was a lifechanging book for me in the sense that it was with that book I picked up the bad habbit of reading books upside down. So maybe it magiclly picks book you hated so much you considered suicide in order to get away from reading it. I didn't really consider suicide, but me and a friend from english class made a brilliant plan to kill the teacher until we saw an episode of csi and realized we would get caught.

i attempted to read the hobbit the summer before eigth grade. i didn't get past the first page. luckily, there were other options to read, so i picked another one, but oy. that was something else.

me and my friend plotted to kill an ex-boyfriend once, based on out knowledge from csi. it was quite fun.

My crazy uncle gave me the hobbit when I was 6, I took the book with me everywhere and had my mom read from it every time she was up to it. She hated the book and had given up on it several times before I got it. She still doesn't understand it, and I had her reading it to my at least once every half year from i was 6 til I was 10.

The scary thing about csi, apart from the 'lets find new ways to contaminate a crime scene' attitude, is that they always catch the bad guys. Which is insane when you think of real life. But still, we did pick up some tips on how to put a hidden camera in the principals office, and that was fun. Believe me.

i attempted, once i was a little older, to read "the lord of the rings" trilogy, but i only got halfway through fellowship of the ring before i gave up. tolkien and i don't get along, mostly because he describes every damn thing, and i prefer less description and just getting to the point. or the dialouge. because the dialouge is where it gets fun.

and yeah, they do always catch them. but then sometimes they do crazy things like escape and come after the characters you love (like hawkes and the serial killer of dooooooom! thats going on right now). those are always fun.

*holds hands in front of eyes* No spoilers! I really need to get season 3, it's killing me not to have season 3!

Anyways, Lord of the Rings? I read it at least once a year, it's something about the language and Tolkiens style of writing that amazes me every time I read it. And the battle scenes where you can feel his experience with war (Tolkien was in the battle of Somme), shine through and he has made it so living and...I'm ranting. Anyways, you should at least read the ending, even if you skip some of the middle parts like the Ents, which I agree is a liiitle drawn out. ut the ending is amazing.

"I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them. But you are my heir: all that I had and might have had I leave to you. "

I always cry when I read the end, hell I'm almost crying just thinking about it.

*clamps hand over mouth* sorry! sorry! i didn't mean to spoil you.

don't get me wrong, the lord of the rings stories are amazing, (i loved the movies, it's why i tried to read the books) and i did enjoy the way he wrote it, i just don't have the patience to sit all the way through it. but maybe i'll give it another shot. the older i get, the more i seem to be able to sit through.

Don't worry about the spoilers, i've already cheated and read the recaps to most of the episodes. *sighs* If I only lived in the US, things could be great. Well, at least when it comes to tv.

And hey, I feel the same way about Harry Potter, except I hate the movies as well as the books, and my friends have tried to 'turn me to the light' when it comes to Potter for years.

hee...i hate the harry potter movies. but i love the books. although, i'm more invested in the characters around harry than in harry himself. he's become somewhat of a whiny brat over the years, and i didn't like that too much.

but i'm beginning to think that harry potter is an acquired taste. not everyone is going to love it.
