Me too. I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde at the moment. The next books lined up are Pamela by Samuel Richardson and Dracula by Bram Stoker. It's a pleasure to meet another avid reader.


An avid reader who won't read more than 3 sentences :lol: I thought you would be into more concise books like "see spot run".


You're hilarious, Rascal.

See....I CAN be concise...

That doesn't explain my just writing 14 pages of a 10 page paper requirement, but oh well. :P


Oh, boy - does that sound familiar! :wink: I always push word counts.


I will probably be up all night trying not to push the word count.

I'm obsessed with this paper; I can't set it down!

Fact: Writing short is harder than writing long :D

I can't read many of your posts. They ramble on. The education system has failed so many of you, alas!

Really?

I don't see why people would be amused at being called uneducated. I'm surprised this thread has continued for as long as it has. I find it your initial post hard to take seriously.

While I won't go as far as Rascal77 and be surprised there is no "See Spot Run" in this list, I am surprised there is no Ernest Hemingway on your list. He wrote in a spare style and plotted very tightly, no rambling. He is the opposite of the rambling Bram Stoker who took forever to advance the awesome plot of Dracula. I was really disappointed when I read Dracula because there was so much noodling on and on about the relationships. I sometimes wonder if Hemingway was deliberately rebelling against that style of writing.

I have trouble reading some of the more "rambling" posts, but that's my problem! I don't blame those who write more and I wouldn't be rude to or about them. I was told by one of my University tutors that my writing style is too conscise, to the point where my essays seemed "choppy". :roll:
