(The Giver is a good book.) I love the HARRY POTTER books, especially the last one. IT ROCKED!! That and the Master of Black Tower, and any of the Daughter of the Moon books. But if you're into reality books, The diary of Anne Frank is a good one. "It really gets deep down into the cracks of social intolerance." (quote from my teacher, but I agree.(MAN, that is too wierd ))

No, the Giver was not a good book. We already agreed that it was possibly the worst book ever published. After the part about stirrings every one was just grossed out and ashamed.

To Kill a Mockingbird was WAYYYYYYYY predictable, but the plot was ok.

GOOD BOOKS:
Speak
In the Stone Circle
Catherine, Called Birdy
Angela's Ashes
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn
Midnight Predator
The Giver
Gathering Blue
Two Suns In the Sky *(really good book)*
Witch Child

The funny thing about that book, is that it reconfirmed my thinking that there was a woman in "The Last Supper". I said that when I was on a field trip to an art museum last summer, and the guide freaked out on me, calling me a "blasphemous art hater". I almost got kicked out of the museum.

I don't understand why everybody thinks the book is great. I guess I'm the only person who found it to be downright boring half-way into it; to each is there own I guess.

Of course you found it boring, silly. You're so smart, you probably didn't learn anything from it. I learned a lot.

good books:
stones in water (very very interesting but slightly sad)
always running
geometry club

I loved To Kill A Mockingbird.
Other books I liked:
Speak by Anderson
The Make Lemonade trilogy by Wolff
The Stones of Mourning Creek (have tissues nearby when you read the end of this one)
Catherine, Called Birdy

Wow...that is sort of weird. Don't you want to join a secret society now?

Oh! I've read The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things! It's so good isn't it?

Here's a story I think is really good. It only takes 20 mins to read. It's somewhat sad, but worth reading. The author's a pulitzer prize winner, if that helps to convince you.

I already posted this in starpower cuz I couldn't find this board, for some reason. I made a board titled "Brokeback Mountain", the link is right in the topic message.

Read it, and tell me what you think.

Creepy, I just finished the Da Vinci Code. Great book.

I think 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'West Side Story' are pretty good. (Same theme, but two different authors and one is in old English... obviously) I'm not sure if that counts as books, but oh well...

I've started reading thia book called 'The Earth, My Butt and Other BIG Round Things' by Carolyn Mackler... it is really good, some humor but it has a serious side. I think every girl can relate to it in some way or another. Seriously.

Nope, wasn't me that time. Sorry.

I just finished the book, and it is amazing. Even though it's 400-some pages, it's a quick read. Then again, I have spring break, and nothing to do the past two days.

Anyway, it kicks ***.

That's weird. I just started reading it, as well. Was that you that was stalking me the other day, taking notes on the books I was carrying? Because, if so, that's cool.

Hello Down There, by Michael Parker. I haven't finished it because it was stolen from me (I think by my friend Emma, the author's daughter), but I like what I've read (keep in mind, that's about two pages, so it could be really bad).

For anyone who actually wanted to waste their time reading The Catcher in the Rye, I'll save you some time.

The Spud Notes:

"Swear. Curse. Swear. Anger. Society sucks. I'm a stupid jerk!"

"Crash" By Jerry Spenelli

I'm reading a Solitary Blue, I can't read it, it sucks. But I'm also still reading Catcher in the Rye. I'm really busy so I haven't had much time to read it. But thats a very good book.

I hated Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. It was so elementary and predictable.
