Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
By volkom 2012-02-10 17:30:48
We should make an FFXIAH book club.
Manga is not included in literature, right? why not!! D:
manga has intricate story lines with lots of character development and amazing story plots. On top of that they're often filled with drama,love,violence,death and all that other jazz. And even better we get pictures to help narrate the story for us.
>:[ I wouldn't say it's literature sorry.
It's far more appealing on the eye and a lot less brain work.
Manga is more like art that tells a story IMO. hmm i suppose~thats true
then can the first book be The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer? /stabs
If you list any book I read in AP Lit I will stab you. what about Guilty Pleasures by Laurel K. Hamilton?
Never read it so IDC.
/goes back to reading Halo: Primordium how is that?

How about something easy and easily accessed?
I'm thinking Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

The whole series is a great read.
Not great literature, but without a doubt some of the best reads I've had.
Edit: The stories all intertwine well and it really helps complete the universe the games created.

Manga is not literature, but still there's nothing to slur about it. I've seriously read manga much more intense then things they make you study in school.

I actually like that book, but I also like classifying things. That's why I like entomology / Pokémon.

Divine Comedy is obligatory study in Italy...problem is once Hell is over you just wish to die over and over.

All this talk reminds me of that *** of my english teacher in highschool.
Final exam, her turn to interview me:
Her: Out of all the authors we studied this year, which one you liked the least?
Me: Keats.
Her: Very well, talk about Keats. *smirks*
Seriously I wanted to smash her face in the desk. *** hated me cause I corrected her all the time, she couldn't speak the language at all.

Lol Iro my Spanish 2 teacher had a bad shingles outbreak.
We played Spanish monopoly 3/4 the semester and all got A's.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
