Winters 0 Posted February 27, 2008 You don't start out on Persusion, that's the toughest of them all... you start out with Pride and Prejudice or maybe Sense and Sensability, but not persusion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mara 29 Posted February 27, 2008 My British Lit. professor didn't want us to read one that "everyone" has already read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 0 Posted February 27, 2008 Let's see... a Jane Austen novel that everyone hasn't read... humm... that's kind hard considering that she only wrote six books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted February 27, 2008 And I think my mom has read each 10 times or more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 0 Posted February 27, 2008 Like I said, there's only six novels, that professor of yours had a great deal of books to choose through. I think you should have gone for Northanger Abby, that's good, at least the first quartet is, I haven't finished because I keep on getting side tracked, espically by SW novels (Oh Michael A. Stackpole and Arron Allston, your well written X-Wing novels keep on making me come back... but some day, I might not... but I'll be dead by then, and so will you, so you have nothign to worry about) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a long list of others to read. And to be honest... I'm not a big fan of most of the Victorian era lit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 0 Posted February 27, 2008 My English Lit Teacher got mad at me for calling Jane Austen Victorian, because 1). Queen Victoria hadn't taken the crown yet. 2). It's technically a...

Pandora 77 Posted February 28, 2008 The Lunatic Cafe by Laurell K Hamilton That's not another one of those sex-crazed-vampire-and-were-hamster books, is it? Finished Queen of the Damned on Sunday, and dove into Tale of the Body Thief today. I'm on chaper six and I've already wanted to cry twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Marius 0 Posted February 28, 2008 I heard sex and lies. Are we talking about selling something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 0 Posted February 28, 2008 I believe we're selling a special edition GLaDOS version of the Portal Gun, it trys to kill you while making you do complicated puzzels around an Enhanced Activity Chamber. It's also in the shape of Catherine Zeta-Jones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Marius 0 Posted February 28, 2008 I could sell it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 0 Posted February 28, 2008 You have Catherine Zeta-Jones doing it, you can sell anything, except maybe AIDS, but it'd be interesting to see Catherine Zeta-Jones sell that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandora 77 Posted February 28, 2008 Boys! Use your indoor voices! It's before it got all sex crazed There are still were-whatevers that morph when they orgasm! I know this because my friend in high school read them all through programming, making me read all the "good parts." I didn't care at the time because I was a closet-case perv in those days, but now it's an insult to my intelligence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
