the phantom tollbooth?

anon you asked about the RIGHT book because i loved this book so fking much like you do not believe. in fact, here’s a story about it:

i was in elementary school, and for our library (god i loved that library), if you did certain tasks, you could earn tickets and you could save them up for something. i always saved my tickets for getting an extra book at the book exchange, which was an event where you bring books you don’t want anymore and you get to take that many books + 1 from the exchange. however, the max for taking books was 10, I think.

anyways, me being the book loving kid i was, always worked to get that extra book. and i got to spend it early (i don’t really remember why. my memory is kind of shit) and i was looking through books and found the phantom tollbooth. now by then, i had already read the book and loved it and i was like YES MR. [LIBRARIAN’S LAST NAME] CAN I TAKE THIS (but not as loud because i was a quiet child) and he essentially said that if I wanted to, sure, because he was going to throw that out anyways.

little me TOOK THAT BOOK SO FAST and wondered if i could technically get another because like. this book was going away anyways. never asked though.

The book was not in the best shape but i ended up ‘repairing’ it by taking off the stickers really carefully and some of the torn lamination. i spent at least an hour on it, and then i proceeded to read it a lot.

so 5/5, 10/10 i really loved this book. i really loved the fact that milo went from someone who was really disinterested in everything to being able to get the urge to do things, and i loved all the witty comments (and commentary) and contradictions (like Tock) and the art style just feels really homey to me.

(send me a book and i’ll give my opinion on it)

ummm bc these came up in my eng teams meeting today: the handmaids tale? 1984?

i haven’t read the handmaid’s tale and i did not like 1984. i was like, 12 or 13, and thinking ‘ok this is interesting’ and then the mc wants to r*pe the female character because it goes against the establishment or something?? and i did not like how she was treated in general. which definitely took me out of the headspace of even remotely considering the book as good. i don’t think i’ll be able to revisit it without being disgusted at those parts cause you know, from what i remember they’re disgusting and i probably should have read the book when i was older.

so uh let’s talk about some funny/lighter stuff now. for the longest time, i associated the handmaid’s tale with the girl with the pearl earring book. i can’t tell you why i thought they were the same thing but i did and i always pushed off reading it because it was a lot more accessible for me (because no one in the library seemed to check it out lol).

i’m also pretty sure that i pretended to have read the handmaid’s tale. i’ve pretended to have read quite a few classic books actually. not to seem like, deep or anything, but because one of my friends literally only read classic books and she would always rec them to me because i read a lot. i tried to read a lot of them and some i did enjoy (like the count of monte cristo is amazing and les miserables is good as well) but others, like atlas shrugged? i’m sorry i could not make it through. i got like 100 pgs in and just... stopped...

‘oh you must have read 1984 early because of this friend then’ is probably the logical conclusion, and i don’t think she actually did? like the closest thing i can recall is her talking about how weird a brave new world was and how some of the content was.

but i mostly read 1984 because my older sibling was reading it in class and i’m that kid who’s like i’ve already READ the books we’re reading in class’ and i regretted it in this instance. there was also the fact that i loved animal farm (which i first read in 6th grade and i did not realize it was an allegorical novel. i took it all at like. face value aldkfjadf) and i was like another george orwell book!!

i prefer animal farm.

(send me a book and i’ll give my opinion on it)

#1984 #the handmaid's tale #i can talk more about animal farm if you'd like #i still do enjoy it #but like. kinda ignoring the allegorical stuff #answering:#quartzess

inkheart?

i haven’t fully read inkheart. i picked it up when i was younger but i didn’t finish it. the problem with it for me was that when i first picked it up, i didn’t actually know which book was the first (there’s like ink death and then ink something else i think and i feel one of those was what i read some of instead of inkheart), i already had expectations based on the cover (it was one of the books i always looked at when deciding what book to check out so it had a story in my head already) and also young me was not always great at finishing books, lol.

also i think i was confusing it with the divide series because that was another book series that deals with a similar sort of background. i think.

i do want to read it because i read one of cornelia funke’s other books (ghost knight) and i remember liking it!

(send me a book and i’ll give my opinion on it)

#inkheart #dude i love the divide #i don't remember all that much and i think the ending was a bit weird (but i also don't think it's the true ending)#(I think there's another book)#but like thanks roger for checking that book out for me <3 #answering:#applecornhusk

hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy?

from what i remember of it, it was a really funny book! i read it when i was like 12 because a friend liked it.

Things i like:

Douglas Adams’ writing.

the concept of the story and the concepts within it

the title is great and amazing and i love it

Things i don’t like

the fact that i don’t remember enough to give a longer opinion on the book, because i know i had one and would have one if i reread it

I can say that the movie was fun as well and I do want to finish this series.

(send me a book and i’ll give my opinion on it)

#the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy #unrelated but i'm thinking of zathura now and THAT was an amazing movie #answering:#anon

Havta agree with u, t-ara lose my respect right now but i really wanna hear the song...:)

Exactly! Hahaha It's like... Honestly, the MV is probably ready. We can't deny their talent or the fact that the song teasers sound awesome - I just can't take a position to support them when they're clearly wrong. Nothing to do with their music~
