I'm reading "True Believer" right now by Nicholas Sparks. So far I'm really enjoying it. I'm on a bit of a Nicholas Sparks kick right now, I just read "Dead John" and loved it so I picked up this one and it's sequel to read over the holidays.

I finished The Catcher in the Rye a couple of days ago. it was okay but it was boring at times.

I will read my Disney Comics book soon. I will tell you how it was.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

So far, I hate it. It's a terribly boring book, and the thing is, I have to read it for school. I'm not even 1/4 way finished, we have a reading assignment tonight. I hate this book.

I'm currently reading Desilu: The Story of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. It's mainly about their marriage, the good and the bad. It was approved by Lucie Arnaz, and it even contains a forward by the I Love Lucy creators, so it's about as accurate as you can get.

What book are you reading?

Post by PixarFan2006 »

I know this has been done countless times, but I do not feel like searching right now.

The book I am reading is Their Eyes Were Watching God. I am reading it in my English class. Its okay, but its not all that interesting to me.

I'm reading Tuesdays with Morrie for my health class, and for English we are going to start Animal Farm on Monday. At least I hear good things about AF, not so much of TwM. But oh well, they are required reading, so there isn't anything I can do.

:roll:

(A knock on Escapay's cyberdoor. He opens it. It's his good friend Search Option. He looks sad.)

Escapay: Search Option! What's wrong? You look like you've been crying!

Search Option: I have, Escapay. I have.

Escapay: Something happen at the forums?

Search Option: Oh, the usual. I get ignored. Repeatedly.

Escapay: But...but how? I created a wonderful tutorial that shows how easy it is to use you!

Search Option: I know! But I still get ignored! I mean...I'm not that complicated, am I?

Escapay: No, of course not!

Search Option: It's because I'm fat, isn't it? Because I give too many results, no matter how specific they search!

Escapay: Stop beating yourself up!

Search Option: Yeah well, maybe I should lose a bit of bandwidth. Shed a few topics. I've still got a lot of my baby fat: 2003 threads, unnecessary rounds of Survivor.

Escapay: Well, there's really no diet program for a forum's search engine.

(Search Option starts bawling again.)

Search Option: I'll never get the respect and use I deserve! Nobody wants to use me except for you!

Escapay: Of course people want to use you! You're a very usable guy!

Search Option: Oh yeah? Then who wants to use me? Name one person besides you!

Escapay: Um...slipcover fans?

Search Option: Bah! They don't count, and even so, they still start topics without my help and without looking for Jake Lipson's Definitive Slipcover List.

Escapay: Yeah..I guess.

Search Option: Well, thanks for listening to my problems *again*.

Escapay: No prob.

Search Option: Off to go be unappreciated once again...

Escapay: Just call next time, I was in the middle of something.

Search Option: Will do, Esc.

(Search Option leaves, Escapay closes the door.)

Escapay: Oy. Is he really that difficult?

Rest of UD: No, it's just easier for someone else to merge threads for us.

(Escapay goes off and mumbles something in Dory-speak)

*****

And to keep this on-topic, I'm reading The Dark at the Top of the Stairs, a play by William Inge.

Im currently reading Speak Low ( When you Speak Love,) the Letters of Kurt Weill and Lotta Lenya.

"Different workplaces often kept Austrian singer Lotte Lenya and her husband, composer and conductor Kurt Weill apart, but the two shortened the distance through lively, often humorous correspondence. An unlikely couple, Weill came from an upper-class family and long line of German rabbis, while Lenya was the daughter of a washerwoman and an abusive cabby father. He studied with such masters as Ferruccio Busoni and Arnold Schoenberg; she worked as a child prostitute, dancer; and then singer, without any formal training. Despite their differences and numerous affairs they had profound "- Discription by Amazon

Fascinating Read:)

I read one of my Calvin and Hobbes books last night. It's one of my favorite comic strips.

Thanks. It's actually a good story. Too much details in it, but fairly easy. It's like Cinderella, The Sound of Music, and Pride & Prejudice put together.
