AmericanIdiot

I loved this book when I read it in high school, but I can still admit that Holden Caulfield (with his academic apathy and superficial cynicism) has some #AmericanIdiot tendencies. #Characters2017

Fifty Shades of Grey | E. L. James

I completely forgot the #AmericanIdiot yesterday @LibrarianRyan

I thought about this for some time and rather than making the obvious choice (the Donald), I remembered that I am most annoyed by women who behave idiotically/not age appropriate. So, "call me Ana and spank me" has to stand in as an example for those women I want to knock some sense in.

City of Lost Souls | Cassandra Clare

Keeping with my theme of current reads. I'm also trying to avoid the whole trump card. Hehe. Clarissa Frey she is a right #americanidiot I spent a lot of time mentally shaking her. Alas as it is written so shall it be so. #muchlove #sundayfunday #characters2017

Fifty Shades of Grey | E. L. James

Thanks Cosmo for the list of 57 things Anastasia's Inner Goddess does in Fifty Shades of Gray... hard to pick just one of these characters as the #AmericanIdiot but I think Anastasia takes the cake, or I guess her inner goddess might've done if for her. 🙄🙄🙄#characters2017

BookBoggart I almost went with Bella from twilight. Based in this being fanfiction it makes total sense 8y

BookBoggart 😂 8y

night_shift Haha.. I absolutely agree 😂 8y

LibrarianRyan 🤓👍. I agree. 8y

Smangela @BookBoggart yes!!! 😂😂 8y

Smangela @UnidragonFrag @LibrarianRyan I don't think another book annoys me quite as much as this one haha 8y

night_shift Like, for funnies, we rented the movie. It was such an incredibly awkward movie. The two actors had no chemistry at all, but I guess that's accurate to the book. At least the soundtrack was pretty good. 8y

Smangela @UnidragonFrag oh I do like the soundtrack! After I loved Jamie Dornan in Once Upon A Time I can't bring myself to watch him in this 🙈🙈🙈 8y

night_shift He was in OUaT?? I've only just started season three on netflix. 8y

Smangela @UnidragonFrag season 1 - the huntsman I think! Let me double check haha 8y

Smangela @UnidragonFrag yep! The Huntsman! And I just spied he's playing Will Scarlet in the new Robin Hood so I can also get on board with that 8y

#characters2017 Day 4 I think the teenagers in this book are American idiots, especially the more violent ones. #americanidiot (Pic is from my original review.)

Kindred | Octavia E. Butler

#Characters2017 #americanidiot Not a perfect match for the prompt but I have been (slowly) reading & listening (#audiocooking, #audiodriving) to Kindred (my first time) & up through Chapter 27 (where I'm at today) I've thought often that Rufus Weylin is at best an idiot-though I'm thinking it's about to change to a worse word very soon. Gosh, this book is so good but tough to read!😱I want to check out the graphic novel-where the pics are from📚👍

LibrarianRyan

Cupofjo Kindred is in my top 5 fav books... And THE book that got me loving reading as a teen! 8y

LibrarianRyan 🤓👍 8y

Reggie This book, even though fantasy, made me feel my history classes in high school had let me down. Also, maybe I just wasn't ready for this book at the time. But I'm glad I read it. 8y

DebinHawaii @Cupofjo I can't believe it took me so long to read it! 👍📚@Reggie Yes, I often feel my high school history classes let me down too. It is hard to read at times so I go slowly with other things in between but I'm glad I'm reading it too, finally. 📚👍 8y

American Idiot: Easy Piano | Green Day, Carol Matz

Love you Littens, but I'll never be so glad to see a hashtag end! Way too much of the #marmalade one in my feed today. ? But as Scarlett says: "Tomorrow is another day!" Bring it! #americanidiot #characters2017

LibrarianRyan

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Yeah, it was like he was encroaching on my safe space. 8y

LibrarianRyan 🤓👍. When I added the characteristic, I didn't think so many people would pick Trump. Sorry. 8y

LaraReads @librarianryan Oh, no! It's not your fault. He truly is the American Idiot! Looking forward to seeing all the other prompts! Although, sadly I think he'd qualify for a few others as well! 6,8,15,16,17,18,24,26,28 all bring him to mind also! Lol. Can you tell I despise him?! 😬 8y

LibrarianRyan @LaraReads you and me both. This month Mad Magizine has an all trip book out and it's hilarious. I need to finish it actually. The scary part is most of it seems true. 8y

Veronica Mars: The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line | Rob Thomas

With the obvious choice for this and the almost daily dose of negative news coming from D.C., I decided to go with a much more LOVABLE #AmericanIdiot
Dick Casablancas from both the Veronica Mars books and TV series fits the bill. Ryan Hansen portrayed him wonderfully.
#Characters2017

LibrarianRyan

LaraReads Ahhh...love Veronica Mars! 8y

monkeygirlsmama He really did! This is one of my all time favorite shows. Dick definitely fits the #americanidiot bill. 😀I'm planning a VM series/movie rewatch for this summer when I finish my TWD rewatch. 8y

LibrarianRyan 🤓👍💕 love this!! 8y
