| Quote: | I LOVE DRACO. And Alan Rickman makes Snape hot.  But anyway, I don't think either of them are really EVIL. In the grey area, sure, but... |
Yep, so do I. Snape is one of the best done characters I think. But I really miss Sirious Black.  Draco, that's my boy. 
| Quote: | | Oh thank you! I have such a hard time finding people who enjoy it outside my Shakespearean English courses. Even then, some of them are only taking it because they have to. It broke my heart this year when my little brother read Romeo and Juliet and came home ranting about how it was crap. *flop* And yes, I LOVE his sonnets. Which is weird, considering my general distate for "flowery" poetry. |
You're pretty welcome. Romeo and Juliet, I have mixed feelings, 'cause I had to rewrite it to "normal" english for our eng. lessons once. I decided to keep the metre *dunno how do ya call it in eng* and his rhymes are soo difficult. But on the other hand, I played Mercutio, which I like the most. Shakespeare's very difficult but admirable. 
As regards the flowery poetry, it's difficult to compare.. depends on who you class as flowery?
| Quote: | I've also read it twice. And both times it was Jane that bugged me. Wide Sargasso Sea is by a different author. A feminist/equalist in the 60s who wrote the prequel to save the character of Bertha from her fate as that "crazy West Indian witch in the attic". It's rich with imagery and I really enjoyed it. It's also much shorter than Jane Eyre.  |
Well, I don't know it, but I'll read it and tell ya.
| Quote: | I love vampire books (I'm not sure why) but haven't had a chance to read Dracula yet. Unfortunately.  I really want to. Actualy have you ever read the poems "Christabel" or "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"? Those two poems, and the poet who wrote them (Coleridge) is where the idea of vampires came from in literature. Oh the things you learn in school! They're really good poems too, which is saying a lot coming from me. |
Well, I heard about them, but didn't read all. Whole the thing with vampires is really interesting. Btw, ya really shoud read Dracula. The best vampire book I've ever read.

Yeah, it's Iambic pantametre, or just metre.
I really do want to read Dracula, but it's so hard to find time for pleasure reading during the school year and summer = work work work. I have a MILLION books I have to read this summer. *flop* |

I'm a regular bookworm, I read a lot and with a wide range. Yet my favourite genre is fantasy - Tolkien and his LOTR. I also enjoyed reading HP. I'm also into Shakespeare, Rimbaud and Capek. Oh and books about history, mysteries, legends and magic.

I can't keep it to myself, so I've got a few e-books about magic. But really good and safe ones. Like old Jewish texts and so on. It's so fantastic just to watch the old Hebrew...

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Why you gotta be like that? I'm just asking if anyone else here had partaken in the epicness that is Twilight but you gotta come all up in my grill for no reason.

I'll get up in your grill if I wanna.

I guess I'm the odd ball...I love smut books. Good old fashioned romances with a paranormal/horror twist.
Hope I can still hang with you all on occassion after that confession?????
