gwen i bet you do a lot of crazy drugs

Oh, I've done "some" crazy drugs.....I wouldn't say a whole bunch.... By the way...hunter s thompson is an awesome writer...the author of Fear and Loathing in Las vegas the book

Favorite book: Catcher in the Rye

Favorite movie...that's a tough one: I have to say The Matrix takes the prize...followed very very closely by Fight Club...

Books take longer to complete but they are more rewarding

Once I think about it my retarded avator is from a movie. Can anyone guess?

My sentiments exactly.

Movies are a great form if you just feel like vegging out. But books, your imagination has to create the whole seen for you, which cannot be topped in a movie. (No one ever says the movie is better than the book)
favorite book - Intensity, Dan Koontz
favorite movie- Good Will Hunting

kill bill.

book: ernest hemingway, a farewell to arms.

Wrong!!! Kill Bill Vol. 2!!!!! So close....

I had never really noticed until the moment you said it was from a movie...I just never paid that much attention to it, I guess

Book: God Emperor of Dune
Movie: Tough one so I'll pick the last movie I saw...Return of the King

You guys are picking some GREAT literature and Movies. Of course Truthbearer, I love both of your choices..Catcher in the rye and Fightclub? That's wonderful...i had to really narrow it down to pick just two...I'm glad mosst people like books better.

Which reminds me I am about to order Fight Club, the novel by Chuck Palahuik. They say its better than the movie, and if that's true then I can't wait!!!!

When I get it I will let you know which one's best...

It's worth it.....I downloaded the ebook.....
I LOVED it. It's different than the movie, but it makes it all the more interesting. I'd like to read more by that author. It's a small file, if your interested, I Could probably email it to you....If you haven't already ordered it....if you are interested, my email is gwencinnamon@hotmail.com

Favorite movie? Dune, the David Lynch version, without a doubt.

As for a favorite book? I've read so many.... One that pops in my head is the Voyage of the Dawn Threader, by CS Lewis. I never get tired of reading it, no matter how old I get.

I loved Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Good pick!

Thanks Gwen, that sounds great!!! I would be really interested!!!

I added you to my contact list on messenger, I don't know if you ever use it...I am on there most of the time

P.S. Where's a good place to download free e-books?

A good place to get free ebook Classics is a site called PDF Planet. Google search it and you'll get to the site. For other newer books, I usually just download them off of my Macintosh version of Kazaa( called Poisoned) as one would download music. You'd be surprised at what you'd find

Cool, thanks for the tip....

You are very welcome

cathcher in the rye, great book!! when i had to read it in high school I rememeber that I couldn't put it down, had to keep reading. took me like 2 days to read. truth, whats up with evanescent owning you??

When I first read it in high school I had finished half the book in like a day. Then I slowed down because, as dumb as it might seem, I didn't want to read more because I didn't want it to be over...

I guess I am very much alike to Holden...

P.S. I just logged in and saw his avatar. I have to hand it to him, he really did OWN me with it, there is no denying it. I found it to be pretty funny, actually, at least in the context it is in. Anyways, he has to take it down soon...
