ITs supposed to be a greta book, we have started reading it for our GCSE english literature exam and i love the character lennie hes so you know, lennie :D dolce shanti 09-25-2005, 12:59 PM Haha...well, I haven't read it, but this thread reminded me of that one scene in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Slartibartfast: [talking about the Earth] Best laid plans of mice. Arthur: And men. Slartibartfast: What? Arthur: Best laid plans of mice and men. Slartibartfast: [laughing] Oh. No, I don't think men had much to do with it. :-p Douglas 09-25-2005, 01:00 PM ive never heard of it, who wrote it? luvhartz 09-25-2005, 01:01 PM il have look now... John steinbeck.

I guess i might need those typing lessons after all lol. ITs Of Mice and men Kerry Chris 09-25-2005, 04:59 PM and i just realised i typed the books name the wrong way around XD lol.I wondered whether you made a typo or whether it was a spoof book of "Of Mice and Men" lol Rosey 09-25-2005, 05:02 PM *goes and hangs herself* i hated that book...UGH! It was so boring..i mean i know what he is trying to do but there are some authors i don't like because they are trying to convey the plight of people and it just becomes endless. In one book i read, i think it was a zola book, he goes on and on for pages about the struggle of the miner going up the ladder. Step 99 .... oh geez! I think it's the style of writing, i don't like it. Magln Meow 09-25-2005, 05:27 PM Hmm, I don't know, I think I might like it. It doesn't sound too bad for my taste. lol, like singingshanti said, it reminded me of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. :lol: Makar 09-26-2005, 01:24 AM Yeah, I read it sophomore year. I love John Steinbeck, but I have yet to read any of his other books :\ Gonna try to pick up the Grapes of Wrath one o' these days. Owlie42 09-26-2005, 01:37 AM I didn't think it was too bad. My English teacher from my sophomore year killed it for me, though. |
