Re: Book Chat

Has any here read Great Expectations By: Charles Dickens? I loved it! Many people think it is extremely long, but it wasn't that bad. Only when you look at the number of chapters, fifty-nine, it seems long. Otherwise, it isn't that long at all.

Now on topic, I hated the end of the 13th book. I expected much more information...nothing was answered in this book. =(

Re: Book Chat

I still haven't ordered that book or the recent Clique Series book; I've been busy with school and my other novels. I just loved Great Expectations, and then I saw the movie, which was shallow and barely like the novel itself.

Re: Book Chat

I request of my micechatting friends to keep this thread going while I am off Micechat for some time. I will not be posting as much as I previously did, until around Christmas time.

Re: Book Chat

I strongly recommend Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen! I really enjoyed the book and well, it is very interesting. It is kind of a comedy but more of a bit of teen romance. Each chapter is kept in kind of a diary kind of thing but in the boy's and the girl's mind. I don't want to give away the book so, go check it out!

Re: Book Chat

Re: Book Chat

I have decided to hold a book discussion every week on Thursday.
Rules:
-May last as long as possible, but cannot go past that day.
-Mainly, the posts must be related to that week's discussion novel on that Thursday.
-Keep it the posts clean, open-minded if possible, and fair.
-Try to keep the discussion in a socratic seminar format, but it does not have to be.

The discussion starts now; the novel to be discussed this Thursday is: Great Expectations By: Charles Dickens.

Re: Book Chat

My first question:

Who has any comments on how Dickens uses bad weather to signify how an important event is about to occur? Remember that you can also use textual evidence from other books, and you may point how other authors use it as well.

Re: Book Chat

:bang: I am getting the feeling that no one wants to discuss Great Expectations.

Re: Book Chat

No one ever reads Great Expectations, unless they read a lot or were forced to; it is a fantastic novel, but so many people think it is too long for some reason.

Re: Book Chat

Has anyone actually read Great Expectations? It is just fifty-nine chapters; it isn't really that long, if you don't pay attention to how many pages and chapters you are getting past.
