I prefer this... http://www.cracked.com/article_16878_if-twilight-was-10-times-shorter-100-times-more-honest.html

actually, thanks for the new notes site, there's talk of a campaign by the english teachers to block sparknotes. Probably not going to happen but still, it worries me.

Well that's a dirty lie.

I agree. Except replace dirty with "unfortunate" and lie with "bit of truth"



don't want to post again really, so I'll just reply to Mowque from up here

You would use notes too if you had to read crap like My Antonia. I read the good ones like Dr. Faustus and Beowulf

 

[Mowque]

as a librarian...this talk bothers me *points to CCR and Bigfoot*

 

[Dachs]

Too many of my friends are premed and they are too busy to talk to me.

CCRunner, which Faust is that? Goethe or Marlowe?

 

[CCRunner]

Marlowe I believe.

 

[Dachs]

Marlowe I believe.

He was at his best when being racially charged. The Jew of Malta is worth a look if only for its excellent title.

 

[D'Artagnan59]

Uh, I'm skeptical you ever should've joined in the first place.

MY GOD.

THEY CREATED A STUDY GUIDE FOR THAT CRAP?

Dear God, I'm slowly starting to believe The 2012 Theory.

Twilight is also a rushed mess.

The first four books were released in three years. MAYBE TAKING YOUR TIME AND WRITING A GOOD BOOK MIGHT'VE BEEN HELPFUL FOR YOU, STEPHANIE MEYER!

Well I only posted that place because Sparknotes doesn't have Twilight. And if you're really determined, you can Cliffs Notes books, and that's hard copy.

What the heck am I not responding to???

Hey it's not our fault. I can't enjoy anything I'm forced to read and be tested on. Reading for pleasure is always done in the true spirit! Anyway, I usually read both the actual book and the summaries.

But this year I was smart. I took only writing classes, or as I call it, the Candy Land curriculum.

Besides, I'm not hatin' on librarians, I worked for them for 4 years.

CRAP?

I was just trying to help you out...

Because SPARKNOTES ACTUALLY RECOGNIZES TWILIGHT FOR BEING THE AWFUL SACK OF CRAP IT IS.

CliffsNotes went online too, and they don't have Sack Of Crap either.

If we do have to read that terrible excuse for a novel, I will kill myself.

The only reason I'd buy Twilight is to use as toilet paper.

Just imagine...

"Umm... Ben... Why do you read Twilight on the toilet? Are you gay?"

"I don't."

"There's no toilet paper. It's amazing you don't smell like crap all the time."

"I do use toilet paper. Flip through Twilight."

"Pages are missing."

"If you get what I mean..."

And I don't have to read it this year. Next year, my friends. Next year is the torture.

But thanks for the reference. I might use it if I don't kill myself over reading it.

Oh yeah, the bimbo and idiot also meet a furry along the way to the Failure Club.

before you get all suprieor on us, what kind of books do you read normally?

Good books. For fiction, I'm more into realistic/historical fiction.

OK this is not related. Today somebody had the audacity to describe my sense of humor as dry. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!!?!? Do I have a dry sense of humor? What does having a dry sense of humor even mean?

Good books.

Tastes are subjective.

Good books to me.

And mostly accepted. I like the classics.

I think it's the non-silly kind. The exact opposite of how I would describe yours

 

[Bigfoot3814]

I don't know what that means either!!! Dadgummit!

Well come to think of it I'm not quite as silly off-line as I am on. Actually, off-line I come across as a pretty serious guy (to those who don't really know me).

 

[Nylan]

All I know is, the book's big and expensive and not here. When you say 'electronic version', do you mean off of Kindle or something?

Packaged with Aplia, actually.

 

[Dachs]

Good books to me.

Exactly.

And mostly accepted. I like the classics.

Actually, I think the quality of writing in the Argonautica isn't all that great. And what's your opinion on Diodorus Siculus?
