TPBM: 4th edition by Guywhowantsafireflyofhisown

Nope.

TPBM...

puts on Firefly just to have background sound but always ends up watching it instead of doing the mindnumbing task they were supposed to be doing.

Not today, but hoping to hit a bookstore tomorrow. Or soon. Dad's birthday is coming up.

I'm still trying to figure out why they always have to assign the most depressing/boring books for us to read. Why can't they give us Lord of the Rings or Dune or something that won't make you want to jump off a cliff, screaming about the futility of all life?!?!?!?

TPBM drinks tea.

{{{{Morwen}}}} I think I know why kids get bludgeoned with gos se like 'Babbitt' (which is as far from good literature as you can get, IMHO) but not Tolkien. They probably won't consider it for these reasons:
a.) It's too long. They'd have to give up shoving Sinclair Lewis and Steinbeck down your throat to fit it in.
b.) It's not set in 'the real world.'
c.) The kids may actually learn words that have more than two syllables and aren't profane.
But the big reason is d.) If your teacher had to suffer through it in school, then darn it all, so are all the subsequent generations as well.

Morwen...that's why I don't miss school. Although i will say, I did like the Shakespeare we had to read. There was only 2 times I got to read fun stuff. One was a Ray Bradbury short story and the second...was a half semester class on Science Fiction. Got to read whatever I gorram well wanted to, as long as i wrote a report at least one page long. I ripped through a lot of Heinlein and Zelazny in that class.

Good luck on your book.

That would be me. I'm all about escaping reality & always thinking up other things I'd rather do & be.

in fact I came up with the following tagline the other day

"I'm not an idiot, but sometimes I play one in real life"

in thought of what literature teaches today. Last year my wife & I hosted a 16 yr old girl from Korea. One of her assignments in English Lit was to identify the character archetypes in the original Star Wars movie. Talk about having fun helping with homework.

ok so TPBM - has had a crush on one of the characters in the Star Wars saga.

Not quite, although I did have to teach myself some basic "stage" sword-fighting for a play I was in called "The Pirates Curse" A Home-School Adaptation of Pirates of the Carribean. I played Jack Sparrow. It was very basic stuff since I was the oldest cast member & everyone else was 15 or younger.

ok so TPBM has been in some type of drama.

I really wish I were swordfighter. I'd just about die from happiness if someone could teach me how to use a Celtic longsword. Or a claymore, but I don't think I'd have enough height or upper body muscles to do that.
