Uff...I'd like to have a look at that site but I don't wish to register...maybe it has many 'ghost members' like this one, who register to know what it's all about exactly....It looks very professional though.
To summon the great demons of apathy, sarcasm and cynicism, read the following: Catch-22, Catcher in the Rye, 1984, Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest, Fight Club, All the Kings Men, The Great Gatsby, anything Hemmingway...
Having read some of those, I think you want me to be depressed for the rest of my life fool.
not depressed, just apathetic, sarcastic, and cynical :D.
I can be that all on my own if I have to. And reading 1984 and Brave New World is depressing. Look at how many of the things they warn against actually happen!
Cassandra... I don't mind if you are depressed... its overly-happy people that irritate and further depress me... :-(
Well in case you are looking for modern literature of good quality, try Paulo Coelho's works, especially "Veronika decides to die" and "Alchemist".
That's very sad Fool. I hope you won't mind if I say that I hope you get over this or are depressed a lot.Quote:

Hehehehehe, you so funny. They're all lying to themselves.
"I miss the comfort in feeling sad . . . " But people who use a depressed, suicidal persona to stand out in the crowd, gain attention and self-importance are painful to watch too. I was probably one of those for a while, so I'll shut right up.
'Of Human Bondage' by Maugham is a great read . 'Atlas Shrugged' and 'The Return of the Native' are also great reads
Love you new avatar fool.
I would recommend 'Brightly Burning' by Mercedes Lackey. Please don't be put off by its fantasy genre - its a wonderful book, it aroused such a range of emotions within me. I laughed and I raged and I cried, and when I got to the end I turned straight back to the beginning to read it again!
Also, for my sixth form book club, I've just finished reading 'The Lovely Bones', which is absolutely bizarre. It's by Alice Sebold, and it is written form a young girl (Susie)'s perspective after she has been murdered.
whoa, sounds cra-a-a-a-a-zy. Tell me more about this 'sixth form book club'.
