Favorite Book

[Kokonilly]

I also read Brave New World when I was 12 (or at least tried to)...it mostly just confused me.

Well, we discussed it in depth in class. If I had read it alone, I would have been confused, but in class when everyone is more than eager to educate you, it's horrifying.

I watched the movie of Death of a Salesman. Wasn't my favorite, boring for me...

Just so you know: I've never watched Death of a Salesman, but in my experience movies of books/plays < the original books/plays. 99.9999999999% of the time (there was Princess Diaries, but that book was dreadful to begin with. The movie could hardly have been worse than it, and it had Julie Andrews).

Besides, in high school, it's Brave New World or Pride and Prejudice or To Kill A Mockingbird, right?

I read Brave New World and To Kill a Mockingbird, and while I despised the former (never, EVER look up a word you don't know on Wikipedia when you're 12 and naive), I loved TKAM.
Bartimaeus Trilogy, anyone? The Ring of Solomon is in the same vein, and equally as amusing.

I LOVE the Bartimaeus trilogy, and I thought the end was great, really a curveball. The ring of Solomon was not as good as the Amulet of Samarkand, but better than the others. It was more exotic and action filled, in fact, I am listening to it for the third time as I am typing this post.

I'm currently reading The Sound and the Fury which I cannot recommend enough. I also recently read The Brothers Karamazov and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I really liked all 3 but Dostoevsky can be pretty heavy for a lot of people. I found Oscar Wilde very easy and fun to read so I really recommend that as well.

As much as I read, I have not ever heard of those books.

Seriously? All 3 are classics.

As for me, I stick to plays or classics that are word-of-the-mouth. I seriously have never heard of them. What about the Sacred Fount? Anybody read that?

I'm reading The Alchemyst by someone whose name I can't remember, and it's pretty good. I just don't like the fact that the teenaged characters don't seem to know a single thing about mythology - or history, for that matter.

I aslo liked The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy.

Half of it. I got bored in the middle.
