Adventure Books

Daring! Exicting! Great!

i know! i love the two pricesses of bammarre it is love, fantasy, and adventure all mixed into one. a great recommendation for anyone who would like it.

Ooh, that sounds interesting. Lol. I haven't really read any adventure books ...

yeah. read it right. now. i am almost finished with it. i read a lot today.

I'm reading Dracula now. That book is so creepy. Highly reccomend it for anyone that likes some scary books. It's very wordy though, but that should not keep you from reading it.

what do u mean by wordy? does that mean a lot of swear words? i bet that i would like to read it. i like dracula.

Oh, you mean the classical Dracula? I've seen that. I think Stoe means that the language is written in an old-worldly sort of way. I like books like that!

oh yes. but nothing like charles dickens: the king of writing a whole chapter when he could have just had a sentence. did u know that if he hadn't kept babbling when he wrote a christmas carol, it would only be about 27 pages long?

Lol! That made me laugh!! XD Whoa, he does babble on!!

yeah. i think it is in stave three, um . . . he takes a whole paragraph just to say that the second ghost is about to show up. a really loooooong paragraph.

OMG!!! Lol XD

yeah. i didn't know what he was trying to get through to u until my teacher explained it.

Yes, I meant that Dracula has a lot of words. But it is really cool, and creepy.

But I never read Dickens though. My mom really wants me to read him. She LOVES Dickens.

omg! u totally should! he rocks!!!! ahhhhh! *screams and throws arms up in the air*

You and my mom must really get along. Which one do you recomend me to read?

a christmas carol or oliver twist! a christmas carol seems to suit your scary/creepy taste, and i think anyone would love oliver twist.

True, I heard they are all really sad though.

Yes, they are. But I don't have much patience with Charles. Though, I did read the pain-stakingly thick David Copperfield, I think it was nearing a thousand pages. I watched the movie beforehand and it made me cry.

That is my mom's favorite book. But I think all David Copperfield books can make anyone cry.

I still don't know how my mom read the books. She can't read anything sad. YET, she managed to read most of his works.

I'm confused.

yeah. the director here wants me to play oliver in the school musical, but she says that i would have to cut my hair. would i look good in chin-length cuts of any kind?

NO! JUST WEAR A WIG! SAVE YOU LOVELY LOCKS!! Anyway, I think David Copperfield is written by Charles Dickens. I was sobbing like a baby.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying! It's such a sad book, yet my mom managed to read it with little problems. Sometimes I wonder.

Lol. I wonder too XD

I know right?

The play that made me cry the most in a long time was A Streetcar Named Desire.

I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

I haven't heard of that. I am currently reading A Midsummer Night's Dream. I am enjoying it so far. He is seriously the best writer, his writing is so beautiful and the story is captivating. I am up to Act IV at the moment, I am nearly finished. I want to read Romeo and Juliet next.

YOU HAVE TO READ MACBETH! That is one of his greatest plays ever written.

Cool! I'll read it. I finished A Midsummer Night's Dream btw and I just got Sense and Sensibilty I am getting into classics now. Wuthering Heights is a classic and eventually I'll have to study it for English but I've heard that it's a love-hate story with ghastly characters who's love is their only redeeming quality.

ahhh! bella made me want to read wuthering heights so bad!

Yeah! That's why I wanted to read it too!

whats wuthering heights?

i don't know what it is about, but i do know that bella loves that book.

It's an old classic. Supposedly, in Edward and Bella's own words (well, along the lines of):
E: "It's a horrible book with ghastly characters."
B: "That's the point, that their love is their redeeming quality."
E: "I suppose blah blah blah, yap yap yap."
Yeah, so Heathcliff and Catherine are really nasty people who fall in love with each other while hating each other. See, it's a love-hate story. Sounds interesting XD

No, see, Catherine does love him when she only has him. But whenever she is around some one who is rich, and can give her money, she treats him like crap! Because they knew eachother since they were young. And he I think works in the stables or something like that.

Well one day, she gets engaged to some one, and he leaves, and she chases after Heathecliff. But he still leaves.

Then he comes back with a ton of money and I guess just wants to bug her.

I think this summary is somewhat accurate. Don't take my word entirely for it, I know I'm partially accurate to what happens.

I really do want to read the book too? I saw the movie with Laurence Olivier. It was great!

So, they don't end up together?? *crying in the corner* :(

I'm not giving away the ending. You might get mad.

Why? Hold on, I'll look it up on the internet. OMG! It's a horrible book! They're all unhappy and die! I don't want to read it! BTW, did you know that Wuthering Heights was Emily Bronte's only novel? And for good reason to, if all she's going to write is ghastly novels about dreadful people who die alone. HUMPH!

Well books can't all end happily, or else they'd all be cliche's. And if they were cliche's, they'd be clunkers. And we don't want that no do we.

You got to hand it to Emily Bronte that see was original. Not many books of that time ended badly. I like sad books. For some feeling they interest me.

yes, exactly, cliches are clunkers. i want to read it now.

I like books with unusual endings instead of sad endings. Their much more satisfying.

yeah. me too.

but sad is sort of unusual.

I agree with message 39. Sad endings are horrible!

but sad endings can always have a twist on them.

They can .. but the ending to Wuthering Heights was pretty terrible, the guy and girl were in love but then she married some other guy and they never saw each other again until she died and then he lived the rest of his life in sadness and then he died!

STOP...MAKING... ME... SO.... SAD!!!!! *jokes* lol

Lol XD It made me pretty sad too!

WAAAAAAAAAA MOMMY!!!!!!! *sobs, then snickers* lol XD

Sad is not so bad. But then again, you don't want it to be so sad that you cry for days and days after you read the book.

LOL! I still cry about a manga I read, just because I had been reading it for 2 years and watching the anime for the same amount of time and then it finally ended and it was very emotional :(

*sigh* the world is a horrible place.

*sobs uncontrollably* Agreed.

Yeah. Like you've been following the characters for so long, that you are sad that the show is going to end. And that they won't be around much longer.

Exactly =(

and then a year later they show re-runs and then U feel old.

I feel quite young actually, I was just thinking about how one day, we're gonna be old and wrinkled with liver spots and we can't wear skinny jeans or straight our hair or go out on Friday nights and I felt so sad! ONE DAY WE'RE GONNA BE LIKE YOUR GRANDMA!

IMAGINE WHEN YOU COME OUT FROM THE SHOWER YOUR HANDS ARE RINKLY RIGHT? ARE HANDS SOME DAY WILL BE PERMENANTLY WRINKLY EVEN IF WE DONT TAKE A SHOWER!!!

GREAT! Way to make me feel like crap now!

oops. sorry.

You're not crap, Stoe. No one is. We are all human made of skin and organs, duh .. jokes =D

I know. But I don't want to think about aging badly, some things just frighten me, depending on the subjects.

same here school falls under the catagory

Well that sucks!

I KNOW.

I cried one time when I thought I'd be all wrinkly and with a walking stick and everyone would call me "Granny" and laugh at me and stuff and then I'd die! WAAAAAHHHH :(

LOL! SORRY BUT THAT SOUNS SO WEIRD EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CRIED ABOUT GROWING UP. WHEN I WAS 9 I WANTED TO RUN FAR FAR AWAY WITH PETER PAN :P

hahahahaaaaaa fely u crack me up! guess what made me cry when i was about 4? i cried cuz i didnt want to go to heaven cuz i got it mixed up with satans place and i thought it would hurt and i wanted to live forever.

WAIT SO YOU THOUGHT HE DOUBLE HOCKY STICK WAS HEAVEN AND YOU CRIED ABOUT IT? LOL! I NEVER LIKED WENDY BECAUSE I THOUGHT SHE WAS STEALING PETER FROM ME.

I never liked Wendy either and in the newest Peter Pan movie (I think it was in 'o4) She was all so sweet and innocent, it made me sick.

we are on the sammmmmmmmmmmmmme page

I never liked Peter Pan. All the characters got on my nerves. EVERY SINGLE ONE!

I saw the movie.
I have the book, but haven't
read it yet.

i was in love with peter pan. i wanted him to take me away so i would never grow up. i seriously wanted to stay 8 the rest of my life..

AWWW, THAT IS THE CUTEST THING EVER, FELS :)

eh. i liked his hair from the cartoon movie XD

:) Cutie!

.....

??

I HATED THAT MOVIE SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

y.

Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson.....soooo good. I like it at least. The blogging thing is starting to get a little weird though, but each to their own. I thought I had more, but I'm drawing blanks now. : p

I love that series, turkey :)

Me toooo! The next one comes out March 16th! I think it's called Max. Can't wait....I thought they were supposed to be making it into a movie..but haven't heard too much else about it lately!

Never heard of them :)

I don't like Peter Pan because he irritated me soooo much. And I hated Tinker Bell.

i waz in love with him! but i do hate tink

I thought Wendy was kinda cute, just naive.

Lol this is turning into what characters did you crush on? Hmmm...I choose Huckleberry Finn.

I think we have a board for that one. Which one was it again?

Tinkerbell is such a BIG POO POO. She was really mean to Wendy, not that I really liked Wendy but still! I was sad that Wendy didn't stay and marry Peter Pan!

There is a sequel out for Peter Pan
called Peter Pan in Scarlet.

he like liked wendy then her daughter in the movies. lol. i love the disney movies they r so cute! i love peter though! i thought aladdin was hot to. lol.

That's a little offbeat don't you think? Peter first likes Wendy, then she grows old, so he goes after Wendy's daughter. Creeper?

I liked Ariel in the Little Mermaid. She was so CUTE!

I agree! That is so weird! She liked her then her daughter - LOL :)

Ariel is cute! And so was her daughter in the sequel :)

yeah. lol. peter may be a little creeper but he is still awsome!

The mermaids in Peter Pan were so annoying. I felt like punching them all in the face. They were all so mean to Wendy. It just was so bad.

I never saw the sequal to The Little Mermaid, and I never will. I never want to see sequels to classic disney movies, they just aren't that good in my opinion.

i used to want to be a mermaid:) no joke. besides wishing to marry peter and to go to never land i wanted to be a mermaid. lol. i was one of those imaginative kids. lol. i wished for a lot to. i was very nasty. how can someone wish to be a mermaid?

I WISH TO BE A MERMAID!

HE HE MY BORDOME PORTRADE IN A SONG.

HEY MY SONG IS CATCHY! ROLL UR TONG ON THE R-R-R-R-R- AND ITS COOL LOL.

95: Agreed about the mermaids. The sequel was pretty good but the first was better. Duh :)

96 & 97: Oh, dear Lord help me please. That was so scary. But cute. In a scary way. God, I love you Fely, you always make me smile (even if it's in part horror) :D

lol. no seriously i wanted to be a mermaid lol. crazy dreams ppl crazy dreams. idk how it was scary it was just a song about mermaids. lol. whats creepy is that i wrote it.

I remember your song! LOL! :) No, that song is very you; cute and random! :D

he he man the stupid radio keeps playing pokerface. this is like the 15 time.

I hate it when it does that. I also hate when the radio says, "We're bringing you the newest and hottest songs." And they are like a year old. Yesterday, right after they said that, they played Low by Flo Rida ft. T-Pain which was released in 2007. Yeah, very new.

golly there is this one song on my fave radio station and they played it 20 times in one day me and my friend counted. i forgot what the song was, so i cant tell u . . .

What song was it?

she just said she forgot xD lol. i like the song sugar :)

I never heard that song before. Who's it by?

^It's by Flo Rida ft. Wynter Gordon.

Must be interesting. I'll look it up right now

GO STOE! GO MYRA! GO NICKY! GO ALICE! GO RENEZMEH! GO KIKI! GO BEBE! GO FELY!

OH! I heard that song sugar. It's always on the radio. I like that song a lot.

haha ya it is good..have u seen the music video?

Yeah. It's all like candy, and stuff like that.

lol ya... in a dentist office....weird

Yes.
LOL.
I had no idea what you were taliking about for a second there!

Listening to that song in a dentists office. . . . how ironic.

the world is crazy!!!!

LOL.
I was once in Myer which is like a store here in Aus. and it's all expensive and fancy and stuff and they played Get Low. As in the gangster song.. :S

Now THAT is weird!

Adventure...okay my number one would be Unwind although I never real considered it an adventure, even though it very much so is, because it's got you thinking about sooooo much more.

Next I would say Hunger Games That series is so enticing and you never know what's going to happen next.

After those I'm just gonna say Percy Jackson and Maximum Ride. Both those books are really good, but it's brain candy and don't get me wrong I love both of them, they're just not as thought provoking I didn't think.

i loved the book "Archvillan"

If you are looking for a great adventure story, try Graceling by Kristin Cashore. It's been out for awhile, but is wonderful. The main character is a girl and her growth in the story is excellent. Give it a try.
