The section I'm reading in the book for my class right now - Falling Into Theory: Conflicting Views on Reading Literature ~ David H. Richter - is very interesting. Richter is addressing two different writers' (whose pieces he's included in the book) different experiences with books. One grew up loving books; the other, due to the neighborhood he lived in, feared books because they were considered "sissy stuff." It also addresses certain books that stood out to them.

Very interesting to read, especially when it makes me start thinking about my own experience with books. I, thankfully, have grown up in the literature-loving environment.

Since I'm on the topic... I thought I would post one of my discussion questions I've created for my class here, so that any of you that are "following" my ramblings can answer, if you want. 3nodding So here we go:

What is your experience with books? Love it or hate it? Has it changed? Which books have influenced you the most in your life?

((If you think I should make a topic out in the main forum with these question, let me know and I can do that. biggrin ))

If you had asked this last year back during... like... early December, I would have said here ((and/or here - depending on where you live)). Unfortunately, the episodes were only available online for a limited time. So now the only place to view the first season is either buying it... or renting it through Netflix ((though from comments I've heard about people trying to get it that way, there seems to be a "Long Wait")).

But do not fret! While the actual aired episodes aren't easily accessible, you can watch the unaired pilot episode ((there's 6 parts)). It's very similar to the actual first aired episode, though there's slight differences. None the less, since you are interested in checking it out, this can help you get familiar with what the actual aired series is like and whether you want to continue to watching the show later on.

Season 2 will be coming out around August this year. So, if you do happen to like the show, there's the next season to look forward to. 3nodding

"Another requisition was presented, who would be capable to secure the woman from the terrors of the great water, but none was able to comply except a large turtle came forward and made proposal to them to endure her lasting weight, which was accepted." (p. 19)
