Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I see. (I guess you got when I wanted to express.)
But anyway there is a lot kindness in what you wrote, Jean. Thank you.
Roland would have understood.
I found it kind of dry. I may reread it just to see if I still hold the same opinion - it's been a long time since I tried the first time.Is Danse Macabre so boring?

Yes.
Last of the Mohicans. God, I hated that book.

Have you read the others in the series, CK? I did enjoy them all.
Celtic Wisdom, never finished it, to much like manual.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!

I found the book dull, rather repetitive, morally repulsing the kind of way I do mind (it takes a lot to get me like that), and just bad.
My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
Okay. I am convinced.Yes.

Okay. I am convinced.Yes.
You should be!
Any fiction written by Ayn Rand.
I've tried to read the Hobbit 3 times but just couldn't get into it. However, I'm almost done with The Fellowship of the Ring right now and I'm loving it, so I think when I finish the Lord of the Rings, I'll give the Hobbit another go.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
I was the other way round for a long time - I read the Hobbit so many times, but could never get all the way through the LotR books. The Hobbit is very British to me though, it invokes alot of imagery of where I live (which is a Shire) and the way things used to be around these sorts of farming communities.
I have never been able to finish The Neverending Story, I can't even sit through the movie.

Is it because it is neverending?
Sorry, bad, I know...I just couldn't help it.
Neverending...ha ha ha.

And what was the problem? Can you name it?
Roland would have understood.
I liked the book, which I still have, but I haven't read it in years. Wasn't too keen on the film though...it missed out so much and was too cheesy.
i loved how it was printed in green and red ink.

i wish i knew what had happened to my copy of it. maybe my mom still has it in storage at her place.
The Scarlet Letter was a bunch of garbage. It's the only book I can remember not finishing. It gave me such a headache. I put it down when I ALMOST finished it. I really wanted the last few days of my life back. I'm still bitter about it.
That book took me way too damn long to finish...
I feel your pain.
That book taught me to look for dialogue breaks in a story before I give it a chance. Every time I turned the page, I was screaming inside, wondering what I had gotten myself into.That book took me way too damn long to finish...
I feel your pain.
the above very accurately describes my feelings about the book in question
