IslandMix

Ever think about going back and reading those novels that they forced you to read in high-school? Like Catcher in the Rye, Midsummer Night's Dream and all that? I have thought about it, I think I will attempt because God knows that back then I had no clue what I was reading and was skating through assignments by the grace of Cliff and his Notes (Coles Notes in Canada) !!! Curious to see if they would be interesting now...

Well i can save you some time and tell you the Catcher and the Rye was boring and pointless. All the hoopla they created around this book....anywayz. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky sticks with me till this day. The Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Whos Afraid of Virginia Wolf? by Edward Albee

I want to go back and read 1984, Animal Farm and the Old man and the sea. But I'll be DAMNED if I go back and read Walden!

it's been a long time comin'.... but I know....a CHANGE is gonna come

Wait, I think we read Animal Farm too. I must gather up some titles and read them. I never read Black Boy, that was a book that some other schools had to read, but not mine. There was an island one with some boys, jeezan, I forgot the name, one of the main characters was named Ralph...the name of the book slipping me, and I am sure it's an obvious title

You didn't like Catcher in the Rye? I think I need to read it as an adult, 'cause I loved it in high school...

I also loved A Tale of Two Cities, and Of Mice & Men...

My sister had to read Pride & Prejudice, and Count of Monte Cristo...I read them along with her, and LOVED them both!

I kept all my books and I think I should read them again.
I remember books like:

A House for Mr. Biswas.

Black Boy.

Animal Farm.

When I do pick them up again the cherished memories will flood back for sure.

Anybody remember: The Students' Companion by Wilfred Best.
It gave you the meaning of words, proverbs like: What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.Similes. Abbreviations. Geographical Facts. Synonyms. Arithmetic facts. Info about other countries such as the names of their coins.
I have a hand-me-down that I treasure always. Chockful of information. I love it

No, I never read that one...sounds like a good reference book to have.

I think you mean Lord of The Flies... good book
and i have to go back to read
the pearl
the monkeys paw
of mice and men
crime and punishment
catcher in the rye
Tale of Two Cities
Huckleberry Finn
theres more but ill start here
