Could it be that you own more than 49 Bronte works?

Sorry, my computer keeps freezing :(

No. I just counted and after receiving two more books this week, I have 49.

My lie is #4. Wuthering Heights isn't a romance. It's a violent, savage tale about the destruction of obsessive love. Regardless, it's my favourite novel in all of English literature. I love the narrative structure and complex literary technique.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1847): "Wuthering Heights is a fiend of a book – an incredible monster. The action is laid in hell"

Graham's Magazine (1848): "How a human being could have attempted such a book as the present without committing suicide before he had finished a dozen chapters, is a mystery. It is a compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors".

It's a shame that Hollywood insisted on marketing this classic horror story into a romance. No wonder young women are confused about how relationships should be felt, expressed or experienced. It's more a novel about narcissism and infatuation than love.

Still, 10 thumbs up.

Amazing and blunt reviews.

1. I’m going to the movies.

2. I’m going with my mother.

3. I’m going on my own.

Correct. I was there for 6 days. A lot longer than I would have been, if I'd payed attention to the signals my body was giving me. But then again even the doctors were confused as to what it could be initially, because the onset pain was on the "wrong" side.

I'm glad you recovered. I had mine removed but it didn't rupture. I know a guy who died when his ruptured at a party. He thought he was just intoxicated. :(

3. I have no plans tomorrow, other than buying cat food

I hope it’s #2—but I sense it’s #1.

It's #2 as you hoped. I read half of a book.
Most people would likely want a hug with this level of anxiety, but I'm not a hugger. I'm easily stressed out by touch.

I’m sorry you’re feeling anxious.

1. I went to the Summit School in Forest Hills, Queens.

2. It is in a different location in Queens at present.

3. I started there in its 2nd year of existence.

I haven't really eaten today, just a few nibbles of thai which weren't finished.

Did you enjoy the film?

1. I seldom go to the cinema because of the loud noises
2. I seldom go to the cinema because I don't like being in groups of people
3. I seldom go to the cinema because I get confused by most movies

It was called “Book Club.” It was about a group of older ladies who realized that their sensual life is not over.

#3 is your lie. You have a complex understanding of books. Which means you can understand films well.
