Dimitra

I first met Dean a little while after me and my wife got divorced. On The Road by Jack Kerouac

I finished some days ago and loved it. I was hooked up, it only took me 2 days. The plot was great, as well as the writing, the descriptions of the smells were wonderful. And a light sense of irony was floating around. About the character, I didn't sympathized him, but didn't disliked him either. I just...felt sorry for him, because he tried to interpreat the meaning of life through smells, and he couldn't experience the emotions that ordinary people can, like love. Personally, I highly recommend it!

I'm a writer who's traveling to Chicago to get inspiration and live an adventure.

Selfishness was their indeed their problem, but I still think it was love.

I'm a misanthrope genius with a super-sensitive nose. Right now, I'm in Gras to complete my education concerning the creation of a perfume.

Eeeerm...I think she meant romantic love. I think that the greatest one is Wuthering Heights. I don't agree with those saying it was more obsession that love. The way I see it, it was the highest level of (romantic) love that someone can reach. Atonement was also beautiful, I cried so bad when I saw it on cinema

I understand what you mean, the beginning was more absorbing. But years?! C'mon!

It wasn't an easy book really. Truth is I don't think they were allowed to do much anyway.

I'm a family whose house was destroyed by banks, which wanted to take their land, and now has arrived in California with the hope of starting a new life, but things are tough.

Hollywood doesn't let chances to get money like this one to slip away.

Disturbing isn't necessary the same as scary. Distrurbing is more close to upsetting. Thus, she didn't say she was scared by was she read. She was upset.

It's easy one of the best books in the Saga, if not the best.

Welcome Peyton.:006:To Kill A Mockingbird is one of my favorite books too!

Personally, I enjoyed the book very much. Each story was great and the messages they wanted to give (p.e.help others) are very important and were given quite clearly. I think is worth reading.

People who see you coming on the bike or walking fast and do nothing to make it easier for you

better build up a bridge, huh?

People who, in their attempt to be polite, end up being vexatious.

No, sometimes the book is more absorbing, and sometimes it needs its time

Since we're both about the same age I was just wondering: isn't this book better to read when you're an adult? Not trying to tell you what to read, but I really want to see the film and my father told me that I should watch it when I'm older, and I find it quite reasonable.

:lol:

Really? I believe the opposite thing. But if everyone had the same opinion, the world would be boring...

My brother read the whole book and loved it.

Personally, I believe that it's completely wrong to make such generalized categories, like men and women, and put people in them. I don't think that because some of the most famous novels from women are romances, that means that women write only about the themes you referred. What about Harry Potter or To Kill A Mockingbird? These are books written by women. What about the books of Virginia Woolf? I haven't read any, but as far as I know, she didn't wrote romances. Also, I disagree about emotionality, it's another generalized conclusion, like the impression that men can't be emotional. Personally, I'm quite emotional, but from what I've seen, there are females in this forum that are not so moved by books about love. And there are male writers that have written about love, like E.M. Forster or Ian McEwan.
