I consumed it. I checked it out yesterday and finished it today. I identified with every character. It had me drawn the entire time. I loved it so much.

Will be thinking about it forever!

manicdirteater Have you read any of his other books? 6y

JanePratt @manicdirteater no I haven't! 6y

manicdirteater @JanePratt The Fault In Our Stars and Turtles All The Way Down are just wonderful! If you liked that one, I think that you‘ll enjoy them. 6y

JanePratt @manicdirteater I'll out it on my list! 6y

manicdirteater @JanePratt Happy reading. 🙂 6y

"But while you were looking out the window, you missed a chance to explore the equally interesting Buddhist belief and being present for every facet of your daily life, of being truly present. Be present in this class. And then, when it's over, be present out there."

JanePratt @Pricel101 I did too! Nice reminder! 6y

It's disgusting outside my house. 30s, mist, high wind speeds. Definitely went out in it to the library. I've always wanted to finish this series. I LOVED Divergent so much. Time for the second :)

Slajaunie I have read the series. I really loved it but hated the ending. Hope you like it more than I did. 😁 6y

KathyWheeler I liked this series a lot! 6y

KathyWheeler @Slajaunie Weirdly, although I know I‘m in the minority, I liked the ending. 6y

JanePratt @KathyWheeler @Slajaunie I will let you know when I get there :) 6y

Slajaunie @KathyWheeler Definitely the minority! I wish I had liked it though. I never read Four because of it. 6y

Slajaunie 👍 6y

KathyWheeler @Slajaunie I never read Four either, but I‘m not sure why. 6y

Gone with the Wind | Margareth Mitchell

pan

I finally did it. Forced myself to read it. At least I can say I did it.

If you want a story about a girl who goes through hell and then leaves you feeling empty at then end... This is your book 😂😂😂😂

OrangeMooseReads Scarlet really does stay pretty static 6y

JanePratt @OrangeMooseReads right? I just expected "The greatest love story of all time" it definitely wasn't my favorite! 6y

Naj I prefer the movie. It's less annoying. 6y

Gone with the Wind | Margareth Mitchell

I feel weird or incomplete when I don't finish a book. So I have been pushing through with this one!

Definitely not my favorite;however, I do see why people love it!

Crazeedi I say don't waste your time when there are so many books, so little time! Btw, this was one of my favorite books as a teenager😊😊 6y

jillannjohn One of my all time favs! 6y

JanePratt I just hate how much Scarlett is going through!!! 6y

readinginthedark I've decided I'm never reading this one, but I know what you mean about pushing through! It took me five years to finally give up on Tess of the D'urbervilles. 😅 6y

JanePratt @readinginthedark oh goodness! I LOVE Tess!!! 6y

readinginthedark I just couldn't. 🙈 Hardy is a good writer, and I understand why his writing was so significant. But I hated all of the characters for some of the same reasons I hated most of the characters in Wuthering Heights--primarily how selfish they all were and their inabilities to stick to decisions. 6y

JanePratt @readinginthedark I totally get that!! I want to read Wuthering Heights so bad 6y

readinginthedark You should! If you loved Tess, I'd recommend it. Not that they're the same, but I think most of the same people like them both. 6y

rubyslippersreads @jillannjohn Mine too! 6y

I need motivation. I'm so ready to bail on this book 😭

I thought I would love it. But I just don't! Motivate me!

JanePratt @c.m.reger I might 😂 6y

CatLass007 Read it some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I much prefer the book to the movie. 6y

c.m.reger @JanePratt Reward yourself with a book you‘ve been really wanting when you finish it! 6y

JanePratt @c.m.reger @CatLass007 I think I'm going to listen to it. I've really wanted to read it for years! 6y

CatLass007 Sounds like a good idea! 6y

Lea I took me a lot of tries to get through it. I enjoyed it in the end but it was a push. 6y

xicanti Honestly, I think it's fine to bail. It's a long, long book and there's no point in torturing yourself if you're still not into it after 129 pages. (Or is it 329?) (edited) 6y

c.m.reger @JanePratt I think that‘s a great idea! 6y

JanePratt @xicanti 129 😢 lol 6y

mrsmarch You‘re allowed to not read a classic book, and even to bail on one! Bail away! (I‘m a bad influence.) 6y

JanePratt @mrsmarch let's be best friends 😂 6y

mrsmarch @JanePratt I‘m only doing exactly what your profile says, which is to knock any love story from out your hands so you can expand your horizons. It‘s fate. 6y

JanePratt @mrsmarch lol true 6y

mrsmarch @JanePratt I‘m also attempting to finally read Les Mis on Serial Reader bc my knowledge of classics is dismal. So, maybe I sometimes also give contradictory advice. But if you aren‘t feeling it, pfffft. 6y

tracydishman17 That is my all time favorite book. 6y

JanePratt @carryliner52 thanks! It's very intimidating because of how long it is! 6y

carolinereadsbooks @JanePratt It's worth every page, I promise 😁 6y

JanePratt @carryliner52 I'm so excited. I looked at the reading of it on YouTube to get an idea of how long... 30+ hours. Omg. Lol 6y

carolinereadsbooks @JanePratt Definitely a commitment, but also, 30 hours of awesome reading 😁 6y

jenreads7 Enjoy! 6y

Crazeedi I loved this when I read it many years ago 6y

Crazeedi Welcome to litsy! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Welcome to Litsy! I just finished this last fall. Loved it for its frank depiction of such a difficult time. 6y

JanePratt @jenniferajanes I'm planning to!! 6y

JanePratt @Crazeedi thank you. I'm already loving the book 😍 6y

JanePratt @BarbaraTheBibliophage I was so confused at first thinking Ashley was a girl and did not understand how this was so popular so long ago. Then I realized he was a boy and it made a lot more sense 😂 so far I'm loving it! 6y

Crazeedi @JanePratt welcome to litsy!!! You'll love it! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @JanePratt Haha. That puts a whole new spin on Scarlett and Ashley!! 🤣 6y

JanePratt @BarbaraTheBibliophage right?! 😂 6y

kelli7990 I loved this book and I loved the movie too. There‘s a second book called Scarlett but it wasn‘t written by her. I liked it but I don‘t know if I thought it was as good now that I think about it. 6y

Kaylamburson Can't wait to see what you think! I'd like to read more classics this year, too. Welcome to Litsy!! 6y

JanePratt @Kaylamburson 2019 will be a year of classics for me! 6y

A Brief History of Time | Stephen W. Hawking

so-so

A lot of this was over my head. I found myself back tracking a lot. Very informative though! I know know that I knew absolutely nothing about the universe and barely know anything now 😂

kelli7990 I haven‘t read this but it sounds interesting. 6y

JanePratt It is VERY interesting. I have never read a book that used "however" so much in my life though. Lol 6y

SqueakyChu I just tried reading this book, but I gave up when I realized I wasn‘t understanding anything. Now I‘m not sure whether to give this book away or to try it again at a later date. 6y

JanePratt @SqueakyChu I had to stop and reread a lot. I am glad I rented it from the library instead of buying it though! 6y

SqueakyChu @JanePratt 😃 6y

A Brief History of Time | Stephen Hawking

There is something about reading this book that reminds me how spectacular everything is beyond this planet.

How spectacular and how completely terrifying.

As humans I feel like we often forget how almost insignificant we truly are outside of Earth. Learning more with every page I read!

Soubhiville Hi there! Welcome to Litsy! I hope you‘ll love it. 6y

1984 | George Orwell

It is terrifying how close to reality this book is. I was sucked into the story from the beginning. I got a little disinterested towards the end; however, I'd say it is a must read for everyone!

RaimeyGallant My pleasure. I told @Ehina about it a few minutes ago, I think. @c.m.reger tag me when you get your first post up, so I can signal the Litsy Welcome Wagon to visit your page. :) 6y

BooknerdsLife Need to reread this brilliant book 😊 6y

JanePratt @BooknerdsLife I'm so happy I read it! 6y

BooknerdsLife @JanePratt so happy you've enjoyed it :) 6y

kelli7990 I read this in high school during my senior year in English class. We all chose a book to do a book report on and I chose this one but I didn‘t like it even though the synopsis sounded interesting when I read it. 6y

JanePratt @kelli7990 "Book Three" started losing me. However, my boyfriend's love for the book made me push through. I'm really happy I finished it! I love the first two "books"! 6y
