    Lord of the Flies.

    I dislike that book more than I can express.

    And my English teacher, for assigning such a dull piece of book. :confused:

    It's required reading in most Canadian school systems, unfortunately.

    Piggy dies in the second last chapter though :D

    ahahah.. I got to like.. Chapter 5.. and then hit up the summary sites. :H

    I read it before, when I was 11 or so... It sucked harder the second time around though. :rolleyes:

    And I get to do a nice 7 paragraph report on it for tomorrow!

    Most horrid thing I've ever called a book.

    Well, the very last couple pages, I just had to read them to get some info for my report... And I actually kinda wish I read the whole thing now...

    I read Monkey Beach. :D It was damn good.

    Lord of the Flies has a really interesting message. It was just boring as shit to read.

    I thought it was a pretty fine piece of literature.

    Lemme get this straight--you're so hardcore, etc. that you have to plan ahead for your hangovers?... or do you still have one?

    I had one like that on Friday or Saturday.

    Ended up walking down my street with a few empty Kickin Chicken bottles... I ended up throwing a broken chair along with the bottles over the fence of this fenced in patio next to these county gov't offices. I don't know why... it made sense at the time. I got a laugh out of thinking about how they'd wonder how someone got piss drunk and broke a chair they'd never seen before on their patio. I have this alley that seperates their barb-wire fenced in smoking/lunch patio, yet my bathroom is high enough to see/throw over the fence.

    Haha, I'm forever screwing with those insensitive assholes because they steal my parking spot in front of my house, yet they have their own lot... We had the district supervisors put up signs, but they just ignore them. So far, our mail lady has had four or five of their cars towed, for blocking our mailbox...

    thats one of my top 10! hahaa, no seriously. I read it in like fifth grade the first time. I just like it because I've always entertained the idea of being stranded on a deserted island and being able to basicaly construct and establich you're own society while at the same time living in a tropical paradise.

    I've always liked those kinds of plots too... but there are several better ones I can think of.
