I get really nervous when they turn a book into a movie or tv series.
Hopefully they didn't completely change anything for Great Gatsby or Divergent.

I had to read it for my high school English Lit class. Frankly, I remember squat; and I might have BS'D on my essay. I did watch the movie, the story is a very good one; the director made some interesting artistic choices, in short, it's not for everyone. DiCaprio was spot on, as per usual.One of my all time favorite quotes is from The Great Gatsby, "I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”

Guys, let's get to know each other a little.Question #1
What was the first book or series you remember picking up and reading on your own?
As for me, probably Animorphs; but that I still can remember the plot to, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Go.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I remember getting the book, I was the most happiest person in the world.
I still have the book. A bit beat up, but I love it all the same.

Mine was A Series of Unfortunate Events too.I hated reading when I was younger, but I read these when I was 12/13 and I've been a book nerd ever since. I used to steel them from my brother when he wasn't looking, he always got really confused when the book mark wasn't where he'd left it ;)

I would just barrel through it all.

@MoAhh, Alice in Wonderland. I was infatuated with Lewis Carroll in, I want to say, 10th grade? The character, Alice, was inspired by a little girl Carroll was actually, secretly in love with.
I remember this boy in my class noticed my infatuation and surprised me with a physical copy of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass on Valentine's Day... here comes the nostalgia.

I adore it, every part of me adores it. I remember it was a hard read though and I had a huge dictionary by me, but I could not stop reading it.
Actually, I loved reading before Alice in Wonderland, but I didn't do it as often. I read AiW in 4th grade with a huge dictionary by me, and idk why but it finally set on me that I could read like that everyday if I wanted to
I have a worn copy of the book, i want a new one!
@MoRegarding Gatsby, The ending is so sad :'/

Did you like Daisy?
I read your review:)No, a thousand times over, no, I did not like Daisy. I can't say I'd have done things differently, she was awfully unhappy, Gatsby was her escape from that reality. I don't think anyone can honestly say they've never turned a blind eye to a harsh fact in their lives and conducted themselves in a less than dignified manner.
But still, she looked out only for herself, especially after someone went to such great lengths for her.

I don't really remember the first book i picked up to read by myself. I do know that when I was little my neighbor read me A Series Of Unfortunate Events. I don't really remember much of it though :/. I hated reading until about third grade. Then I fell in love. I think it was because we read The Last Of The Really Great Wang-doodle.

RIGHT... how about someone who's homeless? You can look at the way people pretend that they don't exist, like just because you don't have a home it somehow make you less of a human being? Also a lot of people of the streets have to battle with starvation as well...Hope that helps some how. Why on earth do you need something so dark though??
