Wow I’m just now seeing these! This was ages ago!
Mine was 40. I would have made that a couple of years ago.
I may not be a senior yet, but I’m definitely feeling it. I’ve read less than ten books all year! I need some lessons in time management.
That's a lot older than I thought
Haha! I like that this discussion has the most comments.
Ah yes! That does make sense! I think I also felt that way but I couldn't put it into words. Life is not that perfect, and even though it was definitely sad that he died, I think it made the book better through it. (don't kill me, Charlie lovers)
I don't know. I always got the impression he was helping him out. Maybe I'm wrong.
I watched it with you!
I'm not sure how an attractive/annoying piece of toast can be portrayed.
I trust your professional opinion;) When was it first published?
Haha! Good point.:) I found it very interesting and a little weird. I used an audio book so I don't know if it would have felt slow just reading it.
Maybe we could find some millionaire to donate to some cause every time a member reads a book. Not really sure how this is suppose to work.
I apologize for spelling Mac's name wrong.
Since your original question was all thoughts on Rose In Bloom, I'll just put my thoughts about Charlie out there. In Eight Cousins Charlie and Archie were both nice, but I got them confused in my mind. So, it wasn't till the second book that I really got to see who Charlie was as a person. (spoiler alert) We all know that he has some serious problems, and I was always annoyed by him and wishing he would just reform already! But I am much like Rose in that I still feel compassion for him and his problems. I think it's an INFP thing to want everyone to be happy. I even cried when he died! That was a little traumatic for me even though while I was reading the book I thought, "Charlie will either have to die or someone's going to be heartbroken." I still did really expect it to happen like that! Just when he was showing signs of change! *sigh* Anyways, I love Max so I'm perfectly happy with them being together. Rose and Charlie never would have worked anyways. If anyone would like to hear my argument for why, I'll be happy to oblige.:)
Remember how his students weren't paying him regularly? I feel like part of the reason Thornton took lessons from him was to help him financially. Maybe I'm wrong.
It's like the Los Angeles version of Robin Hood. Zorro is awesome:) I use to watch the tv show. #addthattothelist I you think about reading are watching it I would suggest reading it first because it's like the scarlet pimpernel where you don't know who he is. Although part of why I liked it is because I had already loved the show, so maybe you wouldn't enjoy the book as much. Idk
Haha! What's ACV?
To me a classic is a book that stands the test of time. If it continues to be read by many, and you can still relate to themes and characters after decades have past, then I would consider it a classic. Just not sure how much time should pass. I feel like the older it is the more tested it is as a classic.
I saw The Hobbit in a list of classic books. I've never thought about it being classical. Is it old enough to be considered a classic? Thoughts?
YAS! It is perfect! So what about the attractive/annoying personality type?
