Jazz is fun.  So is swing.  Zoot Zoot riot is my favorite.  Yeah, mostly intrumental music should be heard on a CD.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!

This summer I had to read the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and realated readings.  He talked about what he had for breakfast.  Not kidding you.  I recommend it for the chronic insomiac.

Next summer I have to head Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, which I have read parts of.  There's like four pages of the narrator watching praying mantisis having sex.  Again I am not kidding you.  I recommend it for the guy who wants to top Micheal Jackson.

Okay, NOW I am doing enough trying for the all of us.

No, I should've worded that a little better fuzzy. What I mean is that there's so much complex wording (details, descriptions, biographies, etc.) and so many things going on at once that it's hard to keep track of what's going on.

And in a book you are reading for high school, I assume, you expected easy words and pictures?

Well, Dickens did get paid by the word.

Personally, I didn't like Great Expectations either. I didn't like the story. Tale of Two Cities is a much better story. I know a couple of people who prefer Our Mutual Friend over all Dickens's other work.

I agree.  "Great Expectations" is a highly overrated book.  Tale of Two Cities was excellent though.  I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

Go to Sparknotes.com and read the summarized version of Great Expectations and you'll still get everything out of it.

That's what I do sometimes, like, when I don't understand what the heck is going on. Actually, I use pinkmonkey.com for that, it's a very underrated site.

Wow, it appears I am the only one who didn't know of these "cheating on reading" sites.  I should take notes.
