VeraMaria Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 [quote name='Colleen' date='Jul 11 2004, 05:49 PM'] I know! I love Polly! She's awesome. I can really relate to her . . . even though the book was written a hundred years before I was born. [/quote] Same here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picchick Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 [quote name='Iacobus' date='Jul 11 2004, 11:37 AM'] Okay, some of you know me... I am rather picky about what I read. I dislike most female writers I have read, they don't intrest me, so I don't as a rule, read female authors. And today at the bookstore and bought and intend to read both [i]Persuasion[/i] (by Jane Austen) and [i]Jane Eyre[/i] (by Charlotte Brontë). I have no will power, lol, or am brainwashed to easily by the BBC and Colleen and Vera . Please don't think any less of my "rasist, sexist pig" (LOL! inside joke with people at school, I don't like Far Eastern lit, it is just I don't know, lol I just don't like it, and I don't like American lit so I am rasist. And I am sexist because I hated To Kill a Mocking Bird and Ethan Frome, lol) comments . For the record I can justify my not liking what I don't like and I tried it therefore I am not a rasist sexist pig in relatiy. But it is too funny, kinda. You have to know Lisa to understand it I guess, lol. :ph34r: [/quote] Jane eyre is pretty cool make sure you see the movie after it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader_4 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) If you like mysteries you have to check out Agathe Christie amazing writer i remember when i was little i used to curl up beside my mom and Watch Hercule Poirot on TV. ahhhh good memories but you should definatly check out Agathe Christie amazing stuff. If your into mysteires to one cannot forget that G.K. Chesterton (the famous Catholic writer) wrote tons of mystiers in his series Fr. Brown and quite often had a catholic theolgoical bent to them...its good stuff to read check it out!. Edited July 12, 2004 by Crusader_4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreepyCrawler Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 there's a difference between women's lit and chick lit. you can tell chick lit because the covers are almost always hot pink (or some other neon color). don't read chick lit iacobus! don't do it! i'll hold your spine up for you if you need help resisting!!

Me and Colleen are good brainwashers I counted 7 typos or mistakes in that post. Anyone able to find more? [/quote] Psst..
