You're insane.</p>

<p>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, JKR.</p>

<p>I don't care what ever anyone else says, HP7 is a work of literature in its own class, superior to Shakespeare, Frost, Hemmingway, etc.</p>

<p>I know.
I read it twice, once in 10th grade, and then I wrote my IB paper on it in 11th.</p>

<p>The books you have to read for IB are ridiculous. I'm taking English and French at A1 HL, and it's unbelievable annoying.</p>

<p>A pet kea bird. ^<em>^ Keas are sooo inquisitive. ^</em>^</p>

<p>Oh and edit "(other organisms living in ant nests)." to "other organisms living commensally in the nests of other organisms" - I originally meant his "Ants" book but looked at the index of sociobiology again and found the word there.</p>

<p>I am a great fan of HP but i really think that Hp7 was not good at all. It disappointed me after the long wait. PS rockermcr I agree with u abt Lord of d Flies I had to force myself 2 read it for a class.</p>

<p>best books, Against the Day - Pynchon and Last Exit to Brooklyn - hubert selby jr.</p>

<p>the first book is absolute madness and the second is a depressing look into the world of guys named harry.</p>

<p>I really liked Lord of the Flies...</p>

<p>LesOs, I have a French tongue-twister to show you.</p>

<p>Oui? Qu'est-ce que c'est?</p>

<p>Il y en a trois:</p>

<ol>
<li>Donne-lui </li>
</ol>

<p>Ahhh! The second one is impossible to say (for me, at least)! I actually enjoyed saying the third one, though. =)</p>

<p>Yeah, the third one is fun to say.</p>

<p>der(10 char)</p>

<p>bump this thread up.</p>

<p>East of Eden John Steinbeck
The Things They Carried Tim O'Brien
Ender's Shadow Orson Scott Card
To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee</p>

<p>I love these books</p>

<p>I like the big stuff and always have</p>

<p>Moby Dick
One Hundred Years of Solitude
The Iceman Cometh
Beloved</p>

<p>and one small Dickens book I reread often, and still, I think, is his best: </p>

<p>A Christmas Carol</p>

<p>--which, despite the title, is far more existential than Christian. But that's an argument for another time!</p>

<p>What other dickens book have u read.</p>

<p>If you mean big by size, One Hundred Years of Solitude doesn't belong on that list.</p>
