Never read Catch-22.
Never read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Never read Beowulf.

I need to start reading more!!

Fahrenheit 451 was definitely interesting. The Ender's Game quartet rules! C.S. Lewis is a good author. If you're looking for a good read, check out Screwtape Letters. It's a very interesting book. Then there is that book that Ashlee recommended I read ... it was also very good - but I can't remember the name. Maybe Ashlee will help out!

Most of Bradbury is interesting- I've determined him to be one of my favorite authors- I've read Martian Chronicles, Illustrated Man, and various short stories, and all seem pretty cool. I find it cool because it's what he percieved as the future in the 40s and 50s, and here we are living in it right now. Granted, there's no rockets to Mars yet, but the general theme of Farenheit rings almost painfully true- people are buying more into mass media and standardization rather than intelligence and self awareness. *shrugs* maybe book burning isn't too far off- most people these days would rather watch "Friends" on TV than read classics like Shakespeare, Beowulf, or Catch 22.

I totally agree. Oh wait, maybe you meant something else.
The Ender's game short story is so much better than any of the books.

heh, my Honors english class is reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, which is Hamlet told through the eys of R+G, the inseperable sponges who Hamlet has killed. . . . sounds like its really good . . . (my english teacher read it at a courthouse while waiting for jury duty . . . . laughed out loud every coupla minutes or so. He looks crazy enough without random laughs as it is . .)

and then, interestingly enough, we are moving on to Catch-22. haha, i can't wait to study it and go deeper than a pleasure read.

Wow, i'm having flashbacks of my sr. year ap lit class. Read catch 22, the idea was good but it was kinda drawn out for a lonnnnggg time so it was decent but I've read better.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was a great play! First time you read it (you can finish it in an hour or two) you have no idea what just happened but it all makes sense eventually.

Other good plays that we read in AP lit were W;t and Equus. Definately check those out, they read really fast but are soooo good! We read a lot of novels too that year but the only one I really liked was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

There's Kristina's short book reviews for now, as you can tell I'm big on reading...I was even an English Major for six whole weeks

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead sounds pretty interesting. Who's it written by? Maybe I'll give up on trying to read White Noise and read that instead.

Yes, definately read it! It's by Tom Stoppard who wrote the screenplay for Shakespeare in Love. It's kinda "Waiting for Godot" like but way better in my opinion.

Since it's late, I'm bored, and I have no class tomorrow...oh, and I'm going through English withdrawl, more book recommendations by moi: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, Tender is the Night & The Great Gatsby both by Fitzgerald, and Blindness by Jose Saramago (new contemporary book if you haven't heard of it...really good!). IM me if you want details or more recs. I <3 reading
