'X"and "O"

you did eXactly what I told you not to do :P

Catcher in the Rye, Fahrenheit 451, Metamorphosis, etc... better? haha

I'm not a literary snOb. Far from it. :P

eXamples of what you like?

DostOevsky, NabOkOv, Celine, Hesse, Lawrence, Hardy, Kundera, Marquez et al.

I liked Interview with the Vampire too. Just between you and me. ;)

:D eXcellent choice. read the trilogy this summer

You should watch the mOvie too.

I did watch the movie. The book was eXponentially better.

Why, you're absOlutely right.

Do you read in bed?

Yes, I turn on my side according to the page sometimes. :P

any suggestions for an eXceptional read?

If you're into pOetic verse: Pale Fire by Nabokov and The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth.

I enjoy the poetic language, but I fear you are far more well read than I. :(

X.X

I'm not a student of literature, unfortunately. You can cheer up now.

;O)

That makes it worse :P, you're well read without trying! lol

(XoX)

Don't we all like hobbies more? :P

At least you like Jane Austen. Or do you? ;)

(O,O)

(you made an owl :D)

I do in fact like Jane Austen. If left alone with a book for too long I begin to speak like the characters. You should see me when I'm reading Shakespeare. Such a temptation to say thou.
