I'm on page 198 of a 390-page book that I have to finish reading TONIGHT.

[SmileyBoy]

I read about 65 pages in only 70-75 minutes. It's a pretty easy book to read, actually. I absolutely HAVE to finish reading it by tomorrow morning (for an English class, BTW), because I have to type a research essay on it right away.

I figure it'll take three and a half hours to finish if I cruise through the rest of it.

BUT WHY AM I ON DU???!!!

1. Get the heck off DU!

Go read the book, this will all be here tomorrow.

2. What book?

[SmileyBoy]

3. "Rule Of The Bone" by Russell Banks.

My super-liberal English teacher is so cool. She made us read a very interesting book that has been banned by many libraries.

4. Just get off, and do what you need to do! n/t

5. Then WTF ARE YOU DOING ON DU?!

Go read, young man! Broaden your mind! Don't fail English! :P

[SmileyBoy]

6. Me fail English?? That's unpossible!!!

7. Good old Ralphie Wiggum

8. Only read every third page.

Just make sure you get the last page in there, too.

9. I'll read it later

Smiley Boy -

this sounds like a fairly interesting book - and one I'd never heard of -

think I'll give it a read - I just requested it from the Houston Public Library- and will pick it up at the BARBARA BUSH BRANCH tomorrow.

It'll be a great day - a new book to read - and I'll annoy a few Republicans. They always look at me funny - I look more like the Ladies Home Journal type - and they get so confused when I check out anything they consider "liberal".

Thanks for the tip - and good luck on the report!

10. There's a lot of good stuff in the book that RWer's frown upon.

Drug use and excessive violence, namely.

It's a really good book. It's fiction, written in 1996 or so, I think.
