    ..What does Dostoyevsky have to do with it? where did that come from?

    It seems like someone has a mayor chip on their shoulder. You sound just as bitter as I am. Never once did I say I was...

    What are misanthropes suppose to do with their lives? Live in the bush, in Mankato? Are you even familiar with the characteristics of a misanthrope? I think you're confusing it with some kind of...

    But why are they called "trash" in the first place?

    and if they don't like being called trash, why do they behave like trash?

    Why is it wrong to point out the obvious?

    This is why our...

    But I am right.
    I may be selfish in certain ways, but my selfishness doesn't affect how people live. It doesn't encroach on them. So the selfish you're describing is different than the selfishness...

    I didn't buy it because it was leather bound. I bought it because I wanted to read it.

    It was only $20.00 and doubt it was even leather. More like cheap plastic. I personally would have preferred...

    I cannot be the only person who's been confused by who is speaking to who in P&P. She's not Joyce, for crying out loud. I've read a good amount of classic literature from the same time period and...

    Do you buy and own the books you read? or do you borrow from the library or friends?


    Personally I must own the books I read. I bond with them too much to be able to return them. Plus I collect...

    Another I aspire(d) to read was Dante's Divine Comedy. However, today I bought the leather bound version at Barnes & Nobles. It was wrapped in plastic. When I got into the car, I unwrapped it and...

    I agree.
    I don't care what people do in their OWN life. They can slit their wrists, do drugs, screw their sisters till their hearts are content. They are certainly allowed to have their own beliefs...

    I read because I'm emotional and psychologically sensitive.

    I also read to gain cultural knowledge.



    I agree.
  19. Who's talking to who?

    Is there a literary term which describes a writers ability to successfully explain who's speaking to whom in a novel?

    I'm having issues with this in Jane Austen's P&P.

    Thanks for the advice. I initially wanted to buy C&P, but couldn't find an undamaged copy at any of the bookstores near me. I'm going to visit a new book shop today, and hopefully I'll find it.
  21. Was there ever a book you thought you would love, but didn't?

    I haven't read anything by Dostoevsky, yet. I feel I would love his work. I've been looking forward to reading anything he's written. I even recently purchased "The Idiot", but surprisingly enough I...
