Favorite Book?

<p>The House of Mirth, Edith Wharton</p>

<p>I mean to get The Bluest Eye before trekking to Princeton. Toni Morrison is so cool. I say if it's your favorite, go for it. Remember, it really doesn't matter :)</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I guess I'm starting to get all paranoid lol ;)</p>

<p>All the Pretty Horses and Emma (yes, I put 2...and they definitely didn't seem to mind)</p>

<p>who read portrait of the artist as a young man. I'm reading that right now for class, and I don't understand a word it says. It is too random and is totally incoherent with all the stream of consciousness stuff.</p>

<p>it's cause James Joyce sucks</p>

<p>oh i love the bluest eye! i did my senior research paper on it! :)</p>

<p>if you think james joyce sucks, then you suck</p>

<p>sorry, my essay is about him....</p>

<p>Haha, The Bluest Eye is...not so great. I haven't read any Joyce, but my friend is obsessed with Ulysses.</p>

<p>ulysses, portrait of young artist, anything by james joyce is stupid. I hate how books that make no sense and are not interesting are always the ones that are critically acclaimed and become classics.</p>

<p>Jane Eyre</p>

<p>Personally, I liked Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. But not as much as some of the other books I've read. Wasn't Joyce one of the first to use stream of consciousness?</p>

<p>mzlover, it's ok ;). joyce is at least better than some other authors, namely hawthorne, melville, conrad, hardy, faulkner, woolf, emily bronte, etc.</p>

<p>you play gunbound too?!?!?!</p>

<p>they do make sense though-A LOT of it, in fact.......you just have to think about the Big Picture and hope you catch on......</p>

<p>he was one of two....virginia woolf was the other</p>

<p>and yes, i do</p>

<p>I love Jane ere, ive read it like 30 times (I read fast...) as to athlonmj, i like wuthering heights , no one else I kno does, we read it in english</p>

<p>"ulysses, portrait of young artist, anything by james joyce is stupid. I hate how books that make no sense and are not interesting are always the ones that are critically acclaimed and become classics."</p>

<p>And you're applying to Princeton?</p>

<p>KountingSheep. Our english class read wuthering heights last year too. Everybody either loved it or hated it. I personally felt it was too predictable and I wasn't a big fan of the whole weird love story and all the "passion" behind it, but hey, lots of my friends liked it.</p>

<p>yea i think if you had to read scarlett letter for school it can be good if your teacher explains some of it, and works some fun into it. otherwise just being given the book and forced to read it im sure is very painful.</p>

<p>A Farewell TO Arms</p>

<p>Billy Budd All The Way!!!</p>

<p>The Modigliani Scandal by Ken Follet: light, humorous, so not a classic :)</p>
