DieAReader 🙁Too bad it didn‘t work. 8mo

willaful A fav of mine when I was young, but I can guess it didn't age well! 8mo

Eggs @DieAReader It happens sometimes 😕 8mo

Eggs @willaful Might be a similar scenario to read The Outsiders now, 25 years after reading it … 8mo

TheSpineView Kudos for finishing when it was lackluster. 8mo

I loved this book as a kid and it‘s way too long since I read it last. This time, I listened to the audiobook. The ending still gets me!

“A reputation is one hell of a thing to have; you got to kill yourself to keep it.”~
This quick, somewhat light read is about growing up, how part of growing up involves growing apart and hopefully coming together again stronger. I won't say if this is true or not for our protagonists Mark and Byron, but I will say, yes, people change, and eventually someone get's left behind, but just make sure it's the right person. If that makes sense.

No one does #wilddelinquents better than Hinton. Loved these books growing up. I just wish my copy of The Outsiders survived my adolescence.

vkois88, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Prairiegirl_reading Agreed!! However the fact that mine got so worn out meant that I had to treat myself to the 50th anniversary addition which is very cool. While I loved all her books The Outsiders was just so near and dear to my heart. Still is. 💜 7y

mrp27 @Prariegirl_reading Outsiders is my favorite too. I'm going to have to treat myself to a new copy 7y

CocoReads Outsiders! My favorite of all the Hinton‘s. My old copy didn‘t make it but I‘ve bought more at various times of my life and bought that 50th Anniversary edition when it came out as well. 7y

mrp27 @CocoReads That's it! Sounds like I need to buy myself the 50th anniversary edition of Outsiders. 7y

CocoReads @mrp27 something no Outsiders fan should be without. (Also I‘m an enabler🤣🤣) 7y

Prairiegirl_reading @mrp27 do it! 7y

vkois88 👍👍👍 Also, totally enabling as well... after all, it IS your favorite 7y

mrp27 @vkois88 @Prariegirl_reading @CocoReads You are all enablers! That's why you're my tribe! 🤣 7y

TheBookgeekFrau @Puredragonstar Correct author, wrong book 😘 You are referring to, perhaps, the most famous/well-known of all her books:

The Outsiders

Today is the first day of teaching my course Young Adult Literature. To prepare, I re-read That Was Then, This is Now, a book which had a huge impact on me when I first read it over 40 (!!!!) years ago. Interesting to read it again, especially since I recommend it so much to reluctant readers.

No parking at my regular morning Starbucks due to a movie shoot so I'm going to settle in at this lovely indie down the street and spend a little time in Oklahoma with the crew.

A lot of similar elements as 'The Outsiders' Ponyboy is one of the smaller characters of the book. It was good. But I felt like I was reading 'The Outsiders' a few years later with drugs.
