I was young, I was not more than 12 years old, I believe - and they were nice stories. In comic form.<BR/><BR/><B>JP</B> That's perhaps one of the good thing about these lists - they at least offer a starting point for some sort of discussion - even if it's "Why have you not finished reading Moby Dick? OMG it's my favorite story! I can't date you anymore!"<BR/><BR/>I actually picked up The Corrections because of how Franzen disses Oprah. I wanted to see if he deserved that kind of snobbery. Well, don't think he has a right to be rude, but it was a good read.<BR/><BR/>Robinson Crusoe - another one of those books I will leave unread. I was so bored by Moll Flanders.darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-63797170556023593672008-07-04T16:35:00.000+08:002008-07-04T16:35:00.000+08:00well, we can talk forever about this list... i wil...well, we can talk forever about this list... i will say two things though.<BR/><BR/>1. i'm glad you like "the corrections" too. i liked it very much indeed.<BR/><BR/>2. don't bother with "robinson crusoe". its full of religious ramblings over guilt, and sorry god that i'm a screw up and sorry i didn't listen to you and if you save me i promise i'll be better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-52753773822724577222008-07-04T01:03:00.000+08:002008-07-04T01:03:00.000+08:00y00 ret teh clazzic comix vershun!
