Kilroy, Raylynn, and Todd489 - I hope you all feel better soon.
I'm about a 4 now. I got so worked up over the exam projects that I couldn't do them - which I've never had a problem with before, so that was an interesting lesson in why I should get stuff done way in advance - and switched to taking the actual test exams. I need to read a book (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) for Tuesday, but that's not usually a problem. There's still some stuff I need to get done for today.

I read that book. It was good. It was much better than Sometimes A Great Notion. I can't believe I've never seen the film yet. Anyway, my exam week is this week, but it is mostly music. I can't wait to get out of here!
I've never read Sometimes A Great Notion. As for the movie... well, we were warned not to watch it. Our teacher watches all of the movies, then specfically makes the exams so that you can't pass them by watching the moive. I forget if it was this book or Clockwork Orange - I think it was Clockwork Orange - that an entire class had a movie party the night before exams and only watched the movie. Every one of them failed the exam.
People weren't too happy, obviously.
I plan on passing. I just need to buckle down and read. (Which is why, of course, I'm sitting here typing.
I still haven't learned my lesson.)

Sometimes A Great Notion is extremely confusing. You would be lost in that book. Now, I've never read A Clockwork Orange, but I HAVE heard good things about it. It also seems like that book fits in with the dreary science fiction novels such as 1984 and A Brave New World. I would read the book first. The book is sad and humorous all at once.
...because I'm not intelligent enough? I assure you, I'm quite able to find my way through books.
I've heard that Clockwork Orange is a good book as well, if slightly sad. That's all right. I might read it at some point; I might not.
I liked Brave New World. I read it earlier this year. You've got to understand some of the levels to be able to fully appreciate it, and you've got to understand that he's not extending his views through the text. I liked the style in particular although I did find the ending a bit disappointing.
1984 is on my reading list for the summer.
NO! I never said you weren't intelligent enough. I was just telling you that One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is better to read first rather than see the movie. As I said earlier, I never saw the film, but the book was really good! I laughed all the way through.
Great! Now I feel guilty again. I guess this brings me to a 3.

No. Don't feel guilty. I guess I'm still a bit snippy; it's my fault. (Blast it, please don't feel guilty.)
Sopho, I thought Lord of the Flies was sad. Simon was my favorite character.
