Serious lack of diversity here

I like the Gutenberg projects. Very useful. Go e-texts!

Yes.

But I prefer the printed word.

"You belong in Gryffindor,
where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
set Gryffindors apart."


You can't really recline in a chair unless you have a laptop.

Ya. Unless you have one of those awesome Macs.

Which I don't.

Being fifteen and extremely poor.

So have we all gathered that we are a diverse people?

A Tale of Two Cities?

The Scarlet Pimpernel?

Demonta (Horror)?

Mary, Bloody, Mary?

Emma?

I don't think horror, romance, classical adventures, and historical ficition are fantasy books.

Thank-you.

By the way, the SP is very good, though a little sexist.

But I'll overlook that.

Read any of the modern classics? Acts of Faith? A love Story?

Never read those two.

I do admit I read all the Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie books.

I've read A Tale of Two Cities, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Elusive Pimpernel, and others...including Moby Dick, but I never would recommend that.

I also have read a few Sciene Fiction books by Robert Henlein. For the books being outdated, they're pretty good. More modern day books would be Jurassic Park and such.

As to horror books I've read the Demonta and RL Stine, though Stine was a long time ago and his were childish.

I need not mention my fantasy books.

I've also read historical fiction, but they're mainly in the child's section as I never could give up reading the Royal Diaries books.

And I've read a couple of teen fiction books, but they were stupid.

And more, but I'm straining to remember and I'm also reading El Dordaro.

Nacy Drew? Agatha Christie, Good.

I've read most of the Snegal books: Acts of Faith, A love story. War and Peace, My Experiments with Truth (Gandhi) I've got Mein Kaif (Or whatever it is, Hitler's Bio) Lying around.

In Science fiction: Lots, The Asimov books, Fallen Dragon, Some Warhammer:40K books...

Lots of the More depressing stuff: 1947 (Big Brother is Watching you), I, From Here to Eternity, Poe's collection and the Wasteland...

There. The good ones.

I was in first/second/third grade.

Besides, I liked them then.

I like Poe ok, but sometimes he's a little too gruesome.

Modern classics? What might those be?

Mmmh..The Count of Monte Cristo is nice. From the historical genre, I liked Birth of Venus. I read Jeffrey Deaver for crime.
Nothing to see here, move along.

That's why I like him.
"I have fought with the shadows on the edge of your sight.
I have seen the faces that taunt you in nightmare
I have smelt the foetid breathe that issues from the mouth of hell itself
I have heard the silent voices that make your spine tingle with Dread"
