Wow... Cool!

Does The Old Man and the Sea count as classic? Nevertheless it's a good book.

Probably.

Yeah, its true. But he didn't say "You're hot!", he said "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?".

Cool. It was odd at first, but it got better.

Ah, I see.

(I think, I maye be wrong) That is means that the book withstands the tests of time. That is is still read years after the author died.

Indeed. Has anyone read any books by John Steinbeck? He's one of my favorite authors, and so far I've read The Red Pony, Of Mice and Men, and Cannery Row. Hopefully I can read The Grapes of Wrath too ths year.

Excellent, Of Mice and Men is a great book. Tragic though it is, it's still my favorite of his books.

Indeed; Steinbeck can really reach his readers emotionally.

I've been reading a lot of books lately, as both schoolwork and my own personal interest. In fact I finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? two days ago.
