ur global textbook?!?!?
oh dear!
(btw, u can c how does she know on youtube)
ENYEH!
hey, IRF:
what's up with you and enyeh?
Do you remember the tune? i do!
that's all you have to say about this post?
have you read any of these books? do you like any of them? what are your favorite books?
Well, griffinrider I havent read much of these books to tell you the truth, but do you think you can get ahold of some of them for me because i dont go to the library often. Whaddya say?
I'll try. i said it before, and i'll say it again: you probably won't like most of them. but it's worth giving it a try, right? what have you got to lose?
which ones are you interested in? i can't get you every single one.
u can get me whatever u have if u dont mind/want
me 2
sorry, golda. i'm only getting books for 4evernameless. i guess i just like him/her better. sorry!
excuse you!
what nerve you've got in there!
How could you just get books for her, and not for me!
Oh, how will I survive?
Oysh!
Golda, i'll tell you why: because i don't particularly like you. that's all. it's as simple as that. does this answer your question? look, i can't just hand out books to any joe shmoe who writes on my blog. i have to chose which joe shmoe i want to give my books to. and let's face it; 4evernameless has a way better name than you do.
Well then, i wont lend you some of my favorite books.
like,like, the bernstein bears or how to eat fried worms.
so there!
oh, no! not the berenstein bears! how will i ever survive without them, the greatest of all books?!
(note sarcastic tone here.)
wellf u dont want to share with me and only want to share with 4evernamless, because, because, 4evernameless has neater typewriting than i do, then i'm not gonna share bernstein bears books with u.So there!
fine. see what i care.
wow, I've read almost every one of those. Creepy. Have you read the Westing Game? or Cry of the Icemark? (read CotI. It's really good.) The Looking Glass Wars is entertaining, and The Whale Rider is excellent. (like you, a ton of the books on my 'fave books' list are way below my reading level, but they were good, you know? Good literature is good literature, period. it never gets old.)
