Is the Fight Club book good as the film? |
That's 12 years worth of knowledge more than me, girl.
I've only read the first two chapter so far of Fight Club, so I dunno yet. _________________

I checked out the pages on dough.
Reminds me of the TV show about how things are made. I like it.

Say no more........
On Topic: Im still reading Pippi Långstrompe på norsk, only 20 pages left.
Been taking a break from my language studies this month though.
The heat makes me less motivated. Spare time is spent napping. _________________

OMG me too! Though this is my fifth reading of it! I always re-read the entire series whenever a movie is coming out.
Before this, I read a book that my student published. She's 17. The writing style is good... but she needs to really develop her skills in creating solid characters and plot. With a little practice, I think she'll do well.
Before THAT, I read the Twilight series. NEVER AGAIN! What a terrible terrible writer. What a terrible terrible story. What a BUTCHERY of the Vampire. Anyone a fan of vamp-lore would burn Twilight into non-existence. _________________

I don't think it's age. I have a lot of students who feel the same way I do. There are so many better books for teenagers out there. You really should read the series.
The protagonist is the most pathetic female character no girl should emulate. _________________

I can see why I should read the series, but there's so many other books I would like to read first that wouldn't be a waste of my brain cells

You're either a reader or you're not. My dad and my brother are like you: they will happily read things like magazines on a subject they are interested in (for my brother it's fishing) but reading fiction - forget it. I would read a lot more if I had the time

Exactly.
I grew up with television, not books.
