manderlyh Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 ^I've never read it. I've shown it to my 9th graders before we start studying poetry though. I make them read "Oh Captain, My Captain!" before we watch it. I just showed it to them--it seems. We finished the poetry unit right before Christmas Break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hotplant Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Just finished: Miss O'Dell...My Hard days and Long Nights with The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan. Eric Clapton, and the Women They Loved. Great read. Insights into Friar Park, Clapton etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jahfin Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Highly recommended, as is the CD that comes with it. I was surprised to learn when reading a recent Robert Plant interview that he was so inspired by one of the songs on a previous Oxford American Southern Music Sampler that he included it on one of his records.

leddy Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) This thread no seriously I am reading Peter and Jane, tell me whats the snobbery about Dan Brown books ?? although I felt "The Divinci Code" was a bore to read, I have to say I was gripped with "Digital Fortress" and "Deception POint" really good reads. So why is there the backlash with him ?? Edited January 20, 2011 by leddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So why is there the backlash with him ?? There is no snobbery about Dan Brown books, more a question of taste, I like you wasn't over fond of "The Davinci Code", but the others are fine. (preferred the film) Lots of people like fact based books either History, Biographies, there are people who like facts & figures. So just keep reading what you enjoy. I would read anything or at least give it a try before passing judgement, some people will not. but true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What George Michael, oh god you poor thing no wonder your crying, whoever is making you watch that dribble , but don't worry the dvd will end soon I am sure cause "You gotta have faith, youuuuu gotta have faith a faith a faith" , Hold on I can hear my guitar, it sounds like its gently weeping , gotta go.
