CREATIVE WRITING

hey everybody. i found a quote that i think is sooo true. and i like the image. just wanted to post it here:

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Mark Twain

So true.

he DID know a lot about the world and the people living there. and i actually liked tom sawyer when i read it last year, even if i didn't like it, when i was a child... weird...

i didn't want to read stuff like that...i was more the tkkg-kinda girl ;-) (still am by the way) ;-)

do you actually still read children's books? i want to read the whole anne of green gables series in english, but i haven't started yet... unfortunately... shame on me!

I have read that series in German so many times that I probably won't read it again any time soon...I somehow stopped halfway through the last time, because I knew exactly what was going to happen next. Maybe next year...
I love the "Little House"-books by Laura Ingalls :)
As you can see, I still read "children's literature". Come on, it's just as cool as anything else, why shouldn't we read it?

you're so right!
i have only read the anne series in german, so i want to take the adventure and read it in english. maybe when i'm back, because buying books here in france is a tough issue.
do you have the little house series? i only know the tv series and i've always loved it!

who doesn't read children's literature??? shame on all who don't!!!!

There's this kid who came to the library where I work, maybe twelve years old, who wanted to borrow all these really heavy adult thrillers, because "all the other books are stupid".
What's more, when I asked him, he admitted never having read a children's book, or a book for "younger readers" he could remember, he just knew they were.
We refused to give them the books unfit for his age. The next time he brought his father who got the adult books for him.
I think he's a very sad child, having to do what is considered "cool" and "good" by others...

but on the other hand he reads at all!!! that is seldom enough...my brother doesn't or men in general...at least those that i know..

Okay, granted.
Yet he was kinda spooky in my opinion.
And I also think most boys read way less. Why, though? What secret important business do they have that keeps them from it. Hmmm..that'd be worth a story :D

that really would be worth a story...but i think we can only guess and still wouldn't come close ti the truth..

yes, it's weird that most of the boys/men don't like to read. my boyfriend for example doesn't like reading, and poetry is something to run away from. really sad, because many poems of mine deal exactly with him. :p

on the other hand, i know a guy who reads a lot. he wanted to read our canon of english literature just for fun! so there are the exceptions.
