I should read The Right Stuff. Liked the movie.

I loved the New Kids on the Block song. Should I watch the movie?

did y'all have to read a Shakespeare a year?

 

[knight1fox3]

^ only when I took British Literature.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

Just Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar.

Sounds like a three way. Who knew....

yep

 

[FLBuff PE]

At least. I think we read 5 of his plays one semester.

 

[engineergurl]

We had one per year and then a bunch of other books like 1984, A Wrinkle in Time, Great Expectations, The Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird were all English class books at some point in time between grade 6 and grade 12

Do books on tape count? I've listened to several of those on my drive to/from work, but haven't technically read them.

 

[blybrook PE]

I've got 18 of those listed read already; a few others are on my to read list. Prolly get at least a quarter of em read in my life.

With all the books on that list I recall from summer reading requirements, I expected Silly Ass Mariner to be right up there with Great Expectorations.

 

[engineergurl]

an albatross around your neck, eh?

I have nightmares to this day about the Tell Tale Heart

 

[Capt Worley PE]

I kinda like the Rhyme of the Ancient mariner.."God save thee ancient mariner, from the fiends that haunt thee thus!"

Silly Ass Mariner was eight-gradese for Silas Marner, probably the most boring novel known to man.

15 1/2, and that's about 15 more than I figured I would have read on that list.

Apparently I don't speak eight-gradese... I vaguely remember parts of that, but not the whole book and I think I'm confusing it with something else...

The Sale of Two Titties by Darles Chickens

 

[csb]

I've read 17. Currently reading Lord of the Rings to the kid, since we finished The Hobbit over the summer.

+545 LOTR

 

[snickerd3]

The lion, the witch and wardrobe is also missing from the list.

 

[snickerd3]

it's more modern but I figured the twilight series...since they are noticing the effect of edward and bella's wait til married ideals on teen pregnacy rates...the movie Juno also they say is impacting the rate
