    My boyfriend and I have an ongoing argument about whether or not Snape will end up being ultimately good or ultimately evil. Whoever is wrong has to write the other an [illustrated] apology.


    HAHA. Which side are you on?

    Haha!
    Yeah, I still read them, and I get into them, but theres none of the excitement of getting the next one that I used to feel...

    How can you illustrate the apology?


    Well, I was hoping it would look a little something like this:

    plus, he's an artist. He'll think of something (I don't need to worry because I'm right)

    A-duh. The side that believes Snape is going to be a-OK.
    I feel like I should start a thread posing the question since you all tend to be pretty fair. However, I've already posted one thread today and I think that's my limit.
  • BUT
    He killed Dumbledore!!

    I thought the same as you til then...

    Edit: Btw, I love that picture biggrin.gif

    a poll should be made!

    and your artist skills make me jelous of my lack
  • i personally can't decide if snape is good or evil.. i'll just wait til the 7th book comes out i suppose..

    heres a couple things i've read sorta recently that i liked:
    Freakonomics (really isn't super econ really, and brings up some very interesting points)
    The Namesake (you might like this better if you're indian/paki, etc)

    you guys have put up a lot though - thanks!! i've been needing book recommendations! smile.gif

    I feel stupid... because that, harry potter and one of the series of unfortunate events books (aka kiddie books) are all that I've read.

    I have a books you shouldn't read
    "The book of flying" by Keith Miller.... so screwed up.
    "the god of small things" by Arundhati Roy (incest, much?!)

    I read a novel "Anybody Out There?" by Marian Keyes... Its pretty good, usually i'm against this type of fiction but it was really sad with believable characters.
  • i went out and bought house of leaves and read it.
    very good
    got tons of ppl to read it aswell.
    then the guy wrote another book.
    i forget what its called.
    havent started reading it.

    i read this book called ant farm.
    jon stewart said it was halarious.(sp?)
    and it was.
    its was a book of short quips.
    the end was a little dry.
    i think its only funny to people who remember school back when u were like 4 9 and 15

    Yeah! I read it a little while ago. I think the points are a bit, well, out there. But it still makes economics seem more applicable to everyday parts of life, which I am all for.

    I think.

    I haven't read this latest book either. Part of me is terrified simply because of my reaction to House of Leaves... but it was soooo good.
  • im readong comic books and listening to rock music! mt brains is gonna rot
  • Comic bookin' is still bookin.' I'm living across the street from a comic book store next year, so I plan to take advantage of that.
  • hey yea thats the book.
    its not scary as far as ive read (which is like 10 pages)
    i just dont really know how to read it.
  • mmmm.... comic books...
  • i got a couple of thoes old archie comic books
    i love thoes
  • In terms of graphic novels, I very much recommend the "Flight" collections. They're all amazing.

  • Neil Gaiman

    graphic novel-wise, he does the Sandman collection.

    But you all need to read all his other awesome books.

    seriously, just find anything by Neil Gaiman, he's like God of fantasy land.
  • A bunch of my friends were OBSESSED with Sandman. I've been meaning to look into it for a while.
  • a couple books i forgot to mention that i liked:
    "Tuesdays with Morrie" Mitch Albom
    "The Alchemist" forgot who its by
  • I agree with the Albom suggestion.

    "Tuesdays With Morrie" is fantastic. I went into it kind of skeptical, but I was in tears by the end. It was so much better than I ever thought it would be.
  • yeah i really loved.. did you read "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Albom?
    i didn't think it was as good. he has another book that came out sorta recently but i can't remember. sleep.gif
  • Yeah I did. I didn't like it so much either. I felt like it was trying to be as profound as Morrie, but couldn't because it was fiction.

    I actually have the new book (it's called "For One More Day"), but I haven't read it yet. I'm a little hesitant to open it because i think it may just be redundant.
