Yeah, Darcy is a bit of a dick at the beginning. But as he explained (in, MY GOD THE LONGEST LETTER EVER *dies*) he meant well.

Yeah, he was a total dick. Dx
But...then at later parts...look at how he changes... :>
And like Cherry said, for most of the stuff that he did, he had his reasons. >.>
Besides, once I saw him portrayed in the movie....:heart:
Any resentment I had left over for him was quickly melted away. xD

I finished 1984.
The ending was sad. D: It was a very good book, though. I'm glad I read it.
I've read Animal Farm. I need to read more of his books.

Read some of Orwell's essaies, if you can find them.
"Shooting an Elephant" used to be required reading for my school.

The only place I can find that currently available on a site I go to is in anthologies.
Here's the books I can currently get by him:
http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/br...=George+Orwell (there's more than one page)
I haven't heard anything about them, though, so I don't know which ones are worth getting and which might just bore me to tears. XD
I think I'm going to pick back up Great Expectations now. ^^ Now that 1984 is out of the way, I'm in the mood for it.

Definitely read 1984.
A few parts of it are slow, but they're not very large parts. It's very worth the read.

Hrmm I should update my list. I've worked my way up to ChapterHouse: Dune.
On a kinda side note, should I keep putting up summaries of the book or should I try and include a link to a summary? I figured a summary was kinda helpful for anyone who hasn't read the same books and wanted a quick run down. I don't want to stretch my list to a crazy level with the summaries.

-looks at her list-
I've practically made no progress since I last updated it. Well I am now reading Liszt's Kiss. Or rather I will when I find it. I have to clean up this room x.x
EDIT: found it xD. ^.^

@Kitami: hmmm its about a young pianist named Anne who gets swept up in the valor of the celebrity pianist named Franz Liszt. She then gets into a dangerous position and finds out a family secret that her father doesn't want her to know.
@Lura: trust me i dunno how to pronounce Liszt either xD.

Think of it like "List," but with a z instead of an s. Or "Liz" with a t on the end.
Once you hear the composer's name, you won't forget it.

I had an idea of how to pronounce Liszt, but adding the 's made it sound a bit tedious in my head. XD;
The book does indeed sound interesting though. 83

Whenever I try to pronounce "Liszt's" in my head, it sounds like I'm having some sort of seizure or something.

Does that mean I'm getting seizures every time I read a line of the book
Gahh the introduction is so boring. SPEED it up already!
I like fast paced books if you cannot tell.
