A word, now, if you please.

I find every single character in Emma to be arrogant, condescending, elitist, and selfish, particularly the titular character, who is a Mary Sue.
If I just tropelocked anyone, I'm not sorry.
And usually I like to read. Good grief. I do not recommend this book to anyone who gets angry at characters in books and writes notes in their books like "EMMA WHY ARE YOU SUCH A TERRIBLE PERSON".
If I read I book I hate that much... I usually burn it.

...Wait, neither have I. I don't even know where the one book I've finished reading is. And my summer job is over, so I lost my reading time.

That brings back memories of reading Daisy Miller last year. And I didn't know there was someone else here who liked TV Tropes... I can't count how many hours I've wasted there. >_>

Wait... there are people who haven't wasted at least some part of their lives on TV Tropes?

:o :shock: :o Burning a book? Blasphemy! Sacrilege! I don't know the difference so I'll say both!

I'd hardly call learning about works of fiction a waste of time. I find it very informative and, uh, educational. And no that is not rationalization what are you talking about :? Judging from the coherence of this post, I should probably go to bed.

Some books deserve it. The Secret Life of Bees, for example.

I almost burned American Psycho after I read it- so, so disturbing.

Is that the email that tells you that you have been validated, but doesn't actually let you enter the site yet? If so, I already got mine.
