This really a short. I really do know know if I really liked it. For I did not understand what it really was about. I know it some Romance story but it did not really feel that way. I am not saying any bad about the author who wrote it. I am planing on this a 4 stars for I really do know know really if it derserves that for I do not get the title of the book.

Awesome
I absolutely loved this book. I found the characters fascinating, complex and believable. I genuinely couldn't predict which way the story was going to go and I love the fact that it was set in a kind of steampunk Victorian England setting. I especially enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Mori's clockwork. I get that this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, I think it's a 'love it or hate it' kind of novel but I definitely loved it.

I didn't know how to rate this book - whether I'd rate this book a 4 or a 5. It read very different for me, I hadn't read anything like it I must say. It was more dark than I had expected which I LOVED - it was short, which I also liked, it was very to the point and so intriguing I couldn't get over it. so fun, so interesting, I can't wait to read the rest of the series

Ross Lynch recommended Romeo and Juliet (1968) in Movies (curated)

 
Romeo and Juliet (1968)
Romeo and Juliet (1968)
1968 | Drama, Romance

"It was made in 1968, and it’s kind of old school. I actually ended up watching it for school, but I was home schooled, so I watched it in my house. For whatever reason, when I saw that film, dude, I loved it. I [was] addicted to it. Kind of ended up falling in love with Olivia Hussey. I became a fan girl, I’m not even kidding you. I thought about it nonstop for a long, long time."

"I remember the title Les enfants du paradis. A young woman teacher said that French film is really important, and that I should see it. I saw it and I liked it, and obviously I remember it, but I don’t know why."

Peace of Mind by Boston

(0 Ratings)

Track

"The third choice is a song from Boston, from the band Boston, called "Peace of Mind". And it’s not my all-time favorite song. It’s just one day many years ago, I was in the garage of my apartment, wrenching on my pickup truck, one Sunday night. And there used to be a popular syndicated show, I think it was called Rock Line, and they would get these musicians on and they would talk about their music and their songs. Not too much differently from what we’re doing now. And they had the guy from Boston on, and they said, "What is 'Peace of Mind?' What was that song about?" And the guy said, "I had a good job. I worked for IBM. I had things. You know, I had medical and dental, but I didn’t have peace of mind. I wanted to play music. So I quit my job, and I started this band. And I threw all caution to the wind, and I decided to roll the dice, and give it a try." I was sitting in my garage, when I was like 23, working on my pickup truck thinking, “Do I want to do construction forever? Or maybe I want to give comedy a try.” And it was sort of at that moment, I decided to do comedy. Now, I didn’t make a nickel for the next decade, but at a certain point it worked out."

"I love Tom Lehrer, I love a lot of writers of funny songs. I like Noël Coward, I like Flanders and Swann and Tom Lehrer is probably the best and funniest. Incredibly intelligent man and he's well aware of the idiocy of what he's doing. Each song lasts for about 1 minute 45 seconds, because it's like, "Here's the joke, go!", it's really good. I think I was about 26 or 27 when I first heard him. I think it might have been 'The Elements', when he set the list of elements to the Gilbert and Sullivan tune, 'I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General' is the original from The Pirates Of Penzance - I like Gilbert and Sullivan as well! I think I also liked the idea of one man and a piano, being a bit of an entertainer. I finally got up the nerve to do that myself, five or six years ago, and it's been jolly good fun. I was nervous about it, but knew it was a good time to do it. I had a few songs off that album (Bang Goes The Knighthood) that were suited to it. I did have to do an awful lot of practice to get up to standard on the piano, because I did grade one piano, and then gave up - I'm really completely untutored. So I have a bizarre technique, but it gets me through."

Understanding of what it means to be an outsider in High School (0 more)
I first read this book about 16-17 years ago, as a high school sophomore. I loved it at the time. I identified a lot with the narrator, Charlie.

I found a new piece of art that is just amazing and I felt like I had to share it with you all. Orlando Arocena created a Day of the Dead inspired star wars piece. It's both lovely and amazing... enjoy!

A classic that I never really liked or could get into. I generally like historical novels, especially if they have a bit of romance in them. Yet, this book was so tedious and boring that I could not get into it.
