I consider myself > a voracious and literary reader (I read Les Miserables *unabridged* in > twelve hours DAMMIT! WOW!!! That's gotta be a record!!! well ok I skipped a few bits, like the 50 pages > where Hugo talks about why Napoleon would've won at Waterloo if it > hadn't rained the night before, but STILL!!!) Oh come now, that was one of the best parts ;-) (It took me 2 days to get through that part alone....I finished the *whole* book in 6 weeks, but it was back when I was a freshman in HS and everyone around me thought I was bonkers for just reading something that was more that 150 pgs. It still didn't stop me from hauling that book to every one of my classes and read from it everytme the teacher wasn't looking in math class....and people wonder why I'm an art major :p I can read GGM, > but...guess not. Maybe I'll try _Love In The Time of Cholera_ instead. that was the one I was looking for but my bookstore didn't have it so I got 100 years instead. Why not go to another bookstore you ask? Because this certain bookstore happens to be my favorite and a place i practically grew up in and now they're closing, so i vowed to never go in there without buying a book...i may not be able to save them, but maybe it'll help a little. Note to any Rochestarians out there....go check out The Village Green Bookstore!! They won't be around for much longer *sniff* but they're a kick a$$ place and could use a little support... yes I'm a little passionate about this store. It's one of the few on Monroe Ave that's survived for more than 10 years and like i say, I pracitcally grew up in that store (or so it seemed). It'll be a sad day when they close for good *sniff* Amy - the book(store) nut :-P - -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 03:57:22 GMT From: Mindy J Munson Subject: *gasp* *sigh* *whimper* WAAAAAAA!!!! I don't know wether to be happy or sad! So much is going down in VA. 1. wanted to see Shakes in Love with my sis's bf but ended up going to Step Mom. That was good anyway though. We had a lil pop corn toss =+) 2. My Rockin' fellow open-minded Christian friend returned from the bowels of Georgia and we are having coffee tomorrow 3. This same firend, Darcy, said that we might be ablee to truck up and see the DC performance!!! (complete and utter soilment there!) Better yet, she will try to get out of her classes early so I can chill with you guys in line! 4. I got a really cool dance wamrup thingie that is going to keep me toasty when I ski next weekend and when I go to Toronto (at least I think Im going to Toronto) 5. This is a lil out of order but mom hung up my LN poster while I was a t the movie. Its been on my floor since the Birchmere in august. Glenn (siters bf) was a lil afraid at what Ji had to say on my poster though =+) "Mindy- Thnaks for joining our Waco (crossed out) Wacko cult. *heart* Jian G*scribble scribble*" tehe 6. I went to my youth group very happy. In the middle I found out that the kid pummled by a chair in my school was my friend. A kid started calling Matt's (my friend) gf a whore so Matt called him a Nigger. Matt went to his next class and put his head on the desk to sleep and the kid took a chair and beat Matt with it. It ruptured Matt's spleen. 7. At the end of youth group my mom doesnt show....her friend does. Frist thought: shit. Good instincts. My gma was rushed to the hospital. I have no detalis on that one 8. While typing this to you my other gma took a phone call from my aunt. My coz that went into the army just got married on the 1st of Jan in 98. Her husband was sent to Korea for a year. A week before he comes back she has a bad acident and totals the car. Tonight he tells her (he just got back) that he had an affair in Korea and no longer wants to be married. He said he'll stay with her for a month so that she can adjust...asshole! sorry to go on... at least there was some good news! =+) Fruchild, in need of a hug.... hey I've never had a hug from the lads.... ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I'm not the only one, guys. This Jon Scieszka is so completely wonderful. Lane Smith has also done a bunch of stuff on his own (I must recommend The Happy Hocky Family -- weirdly twisted tales for kids). Math Curse (which they did together) is so cool, my math teacher in 11th grade read it to us. You know Katie, he's written this cool series for older kids (who am I kidding, all his books are for any age) called The Time Warp Trio. Very cool books that teach a lot about history while being hysterically funny. This guy is one of my favourite kid's authors, and I can't tell you how many people I turned onto him when I worked at B&N.

This includes "Dragonbone Chair" "Stone of Farewell" and "To Green Angel Tower". I have never been so enthralled in a book before! The books just take you in for a long and wild adventure. I pesonally thought it was better than Robert Jordan's series...and there are onle 3/4 books in this one!!! ~"Otherland" by Tad Williams. Ok, this guys rocks!!! I'm still reading the first book in this series but, my god, can this man tell a story. It's much more sci-fi then his other series but still as good. ~"Thought and Meditations" by Kahil Gibbran. ummm...I'm sure I spelled that wrong but I don't have the book here to tell. anywho, wonderful writings and very thought provoking. ~"Farseer" tril by Robin Hobb. "Assassin's Apprentice" "Royal Assassin" and "Assassin's Quest" This is right up there with Tad. ~"Drango Prince/Sunrunner" trils by Melanie Rawn. yup, I like fantasy stuff :-) ~"Redwall" series by Brain Jaques. Simple, lighthearted tales of furry bravery. ~"Christopher Park Regulars" by E.M. Swift (I think). Short stories about a group of people in NYC that seem so far fetched they might be real ;) i think that's all I can think of right now. I love this thread!!! Great idea!!!
