I believe the thread is called books and shit so mangoes should be acceptable. Also, you can read mangoes but I wonder why you would write on a mango...

I don't read often except I did have an obsession with the Skulldugery Series. Awesome skeleton guy with magic, that's a detective!

I am quoting a few paragraphs for a book I am reading because they really stood out to me.

Quote:

So what do you think of him now, Justin? Do you hate him?
Your friend that raped her, is he still your friend?
Yes, but why?
It must be denial. It has to be. Sure, he's always had a temper.Sure, he goes though girls like used underwear. But he's always been a good friend to you. And the more you hang out with him, the more he seems like the same old guy from before, right? And if he acts like the same guy, then he couldnt possibly have done anything wrong. Which means that you didn't do anything wrong, either.
I wish I didn't ruin that girls life.
But I did.
At the very least, I helped. And so did you.
No, you're right, you didnt rape her. And I didn't rape her. He did. But you...and I...we let it happen.
Its our fault.

This is from the book Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher.

(are we allowed to quot things from books in this thread? Seems like a good idea to me.)

I see no reason to not be allowed as long as you credit the owner.

why I read Looking For alaska on a whim:

Quote:

“I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

I just finished A Game of Thrones. Trying to decide whether to read the next one in the series or read Hitch 22

Read the next one and feel both pop flyin' from how good it is and incredibly sad from how your favorite characters are put through hell.

I just went out and bought 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth. Is this awesome [y/n]?

A friend of mine got it last week as a birthday gift, when he pulled it out of the tangle of tinsel and confetti (long story) we all wtfed. But once we read it a bit we chuckled and guffawed somewhat.

Just finished "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway. Awesome book, loved it. But sweet Christ I feel all too familiar with Robert Cohn.
