Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

My mom had to go super in depth into that book in her English class in college. A a year and a half later and it's still just popping up in her life in the weirdest ways

I read the child's version when I was a kid, and enjoyed it, but it wasn't as dense as the actual one. Same reason I don't read Harry Potter or Narnia

You can't read Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia because they are too...dense?

To which phase?

Old Spice. And Axe. Eww.

hey, great job on the ignore there, team.

really well done by everyone.

Except someone...

To which part?

Ever heard the expression dumber than a box of rocks?

I was always more into the fantasy stuff. I could do big, thick books of magic (other than potter), but I just can't get past dense paragraphs of dry boring.

Most all reading is good reading, imho.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. I really dug the way Melville used whaling and the technology thereof as a parallel for.... Nvm. My geek is showing.

That book was one that changed my life. That, The Silmarillion, Dune, Lonesome Dove, Watership Down, Beowulf, the Bhagavad Gita, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Phantom Tollbooth. And I teach British lit now, but my baby will always be American lit. Moby Dick is a seminal work in that canon (that was like a triple pun).

Watership Down is excellent. I read it once a year or so. I also like Animal Farm.

Like the ones behind the counter at the gas station? Or?

And Axe. Eww.

Yep.

when I tried years ago. Now I just don't have the will to read most things, let alone try ones I hadn't liked before. Still crawling my way through Game of Thrones and Dune.

Old Spice.

Beg to differ, but considering my birds and photos, that can't be too surprising

Everyday!

I'm always concerned when I see he quotes me. Is it gonna be sarcastic, agreeing or pointing out I spelled parahnas wrong again?

Piranha.
