"Anyone else doing this?"

Ahh, easter, the time of revision is upon us, but is anyone acctually doing it? i've got the novel 'of mice and men' sitting infront of me, but im finding it so hard to pick up. Does anyone else have this revision problem and how are they getting around it!?

The mark of my triuphant return to the forums. I apologize for the week long affair.

You were away crying because I wasn't here. I know, I know.
I'm so glad I'm toing To Kill A Mockingbird and not Of Mice and Men for my GCSEs.

Bah

I got Silas Marner.

Still, at least it's shorter.

Oh God Of Mice and Men is so boring. The film isn't much cop either.
If schools are going to force you to read why do they always pick crap books?

Wow, you read both of them too... what about a book called Fahrenheit 451... I'm beginning to think there's a similarity in our English thingymajiggers.

Because they show great writing techniques, circular structures, similes, metaphors, unlike playboy and the like, though our teacher said we could evaluate the Simpsons as a media unit if we wanted. I couldn't be bothered. I just watched the Simpsons.

Of Mice and Men is a damn fine book.

Only a philistine can discredit such a work.

I found it funny, yet not a great book.
