  1. Managed a couple of pages of Northanger
  2. Yes Ilona, I thought that too. It is very extreme and ridiculous in so many senses, I just don't understand what got in his head, that is disturbing for all the wrong reasons and is one thing which clouds the novel over for me. I can understand on some levels what it represents and means, but there were other ways to express it surely.
  3. Cheerioooooooos

  6. 'It was a pleasure to burn.' - Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury
  7. Couple more pages of 'Fahrenheit 451'
  8. I watched a Mock The Week last night, Frankie is a hilarious guy, everytime I watch I laugh even before he says anything, he has a permanent funny expression. Can anyone explain what Glee is? I keep hearing about it but don't really watch TV so have no idea except it attempted to cover Journey.
  9. It will be! I always worry when I watch The Matrix that Neo will take the wrong pill and the film will be over, the suspense kills me everytime.

  19. 1984 is disturbing because of it's accuracy in depicting how the world is ran.
  20. I'm not particularly disturbed by IT, I adore the story, I think that it addresses a lot of things that mean something and really does strike a chord inside many people. This is an important novel for that particular generation who grew up when Steve did, the fact that it is so relevant to me who came along much later shows how powerful the essence is, at least in my opinion.

Sometimes it just needs the slightest push or the simplest excuse to reveal that often unstable nature of the human being.
  21. The lesser of two evils!
