Ron Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 ^I know what you mean. xD I do that with my stuff a lot, except I get fidgety and usually get up. I have a few stories from like a year ago that haven't been finished as a result of that. x]
Sabre Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I'm working on the 51st Episode on "Adventures in the Underground City" while working on the fifth episode of "The Under W.A.T.E.R. Agents" and thinking finishing the sixth episode of "Trouble Tripled"
4EverGreen Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I'm in the middle of reading the literary masterpiece "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" for the very first time. It's a very engrossing book.
Sauce Mama Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 I have to read and annotate 1984 by George Orwell. Any thoughts on the book?
Metal Snake Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I've started reading "Haruhi Suzumiya" recently. It's actually really good.
JCM Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I've just finished the Count of Monte Cristo. Great book. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.
JCM Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Just started A Tale of Two Cities. Pretty meh so far.
Ron Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen Such a great and beautifully written story. It's addicting, in a weird kind of way. It's like chocolate. xD
Elastic Dawg Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Finished reading Carrie about a week ago, pretty great.
box Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I am currently reading the Little House series and have read all of them so far except for "The First Four Years". My school has these "A.R" quizzes you have to take- why have i not quizzed on Little House On The Prairie yet?
Cha Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 To Kill a Mockingbird, it's right up my alley and I started it Tuesday.
Metal Snake Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Finished reading the original Dragon Ball manga and recently started on Z. Really enjoying it.
QuakerPlayer Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Finished reading the original Dragon Ball manga and recently started on Z. Really enjoying it. I just finished this last week! Man I feel back in love with Dragon Ball upon finishing it and I got to say no other manga I read including Saint Seiya have such battles that have been as intense and epic as Dragon Ball especially Part Z! Volume 7 (as its released in the US) , Vegita VS Goku, alone is almost exclusively fighting. Yet it hooked me on so much and was so exciting I had to keep on reading on with it until the conclusion of the battle (despite seeing the anime counterpart years ago). How would you say the anime of DB 1 compare with the manga?Look forward to chatting about Z in a seperate thread. Also I seen some of your posts here and you have read other manga. Do you happen to be familiar with Saint Seiya?
person Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I WAS reading The Bully, a part of the Bluford Series. I finished it. It was awesome. You can tell the target audience is teenagers in middle and/or high school. It was about a boy named Daryl Mercer who was forced to move from Philadelphia to California because his mom lost her job and his uncle/her brother Jason offered her a new job in California where he lives. He is faced with a new school Bluford High and is forced to make new friends. He's not happy about it at all. He is small, short, and skinny with not a muscle on a single bone of his body. He is faced with a bully named Terray who keeps asking him for money every day after school by the market, which is his lunch money given to him by his mom. so it's his mom's money and he's giving it to Terray otherwise he will beat him up. He refuses to tell his mom about it and never does throughout the whole book. His English teacher later gives him a book that he reads to teach him something about self confidence and building strength. He did not see how it related to him at all, but later his gym teacher asked him to join the wrestling team but he never pictured himself ever doing that kind of thing because he wasn't strong enough. But he tried it and over the weeks he got stronger each class and was able to do all the things the coach had them do. He then went into a wrestling match but lost against his opponent but that's ok since it was only because he made a mistake that he was not aware of. He gained self confidence and strength, although he never got bigger, and then used that towards the end to finally confront Terray once and for all. I enjoyed the ending part the most with the scene in the cafeteria where Terray knocked his lunch off the table and it got all over his clothes then he stood up for himself and fought with Terray and used his wrestling moves that he had learned to defeat him. This was when he lost all his fear and felt free of all bullies. Heh, I basically just gave away all the events in the story, but it's not like any of you knew about the book or were going to read it anyway
