I still think it will be Bourn, but the three-headed FA monster of Bourn/Hamilton/Swisher will have to wait until this Justin Upton thing plays out first.

Where you in that book.

I'm with S-Jax on this. The book is great.

The film adaption is very good too.


Well, we were assigned to read a couple chapters every night for HW, but I guess after I first read it while tired in class, it didn't really make a great impression on me. When we read it for class, I just find it too long for my (now) 15-year old mind to read through without getting bored, I figure why try. :|

The premise seems interesting but I don't know. Just not my kind of book, I guess. No offense to you guys though, that's just me.

I actually read that book back in 8th grade, so I was younger than you at the time and still loved it (Same goes for A Tale Of Two Cities).

And Skittle, it's not official, but it's expected.

I read it two summers ago. I read that and Grapes of Wrath.

Also, I've been interested in Tale of Two Cities. I heard The Dark Knight Rises took a lot of inspiration from it.

I have two senior friends in my Spanish class, and one of them described that book as being "just awful", and the other said it's probably one of the worst books he's ever read

I found it very interesting, actually, and Sydney Carton is one of my favorite novel characters ever.

Why do you say this.

It was a great movie.

"In 1995, To Kill a Mockingbird was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.""

The American Film Institute named Atticus Finch the greatest movie hero of the 20th century.

The film was ranked number 34 on AFI's list of the 100 greatest movies of all time, but moved up to number 25 on the 10th Anniversary list.

Juuuuuust throwing these tidbits out there. :P

It also won Best Picture in a time when the Academy Awards meant a lot more, but S Jax got the most important stuff.

Everyone I know, 'cept for you, Liam really liked it and one of my favorite internet celebrities, Doug Walker, put it at 2nd on his list of 20 favorite movies of all time. But, hey, different strokes, just want to know why you thought the movie was so bad.

It is my opinion just because I don't like black and white movies

You don't like it because it is black and white?

Ummm.... okay, then. I guess in the future just have more of an open mind.

Also, this is freaking hilarious.

Victorino and Gomes to the Sox! Now I'm just waiting on Zack Greinke or Josh Hamilton to go there as well.

I mean, there are trade rumors swirling about Jacoby Ellsbury, and if that happens, it opens up another outfield slot, hopefully for Hamilton. And the Sox are in serious need of pitching, which makes me hope that they get either Greinke or R. A. Dickey.
