What is the WORST book you were ever forced to read?

faerieingrey @faerieingrey (323) • United States 4 Feb 07

eliza_bennet look them straight in the eye and say No. It seems to always work but the downside is losing many responsible friends.

eliza_bennet Proably just carry on as normal because they're just as scared as you. And if a crazy person had to throw stones at me well then i'd probably laugh . I'm really not scared of different people.

patgalca @patgalca (18180) • Orangeville, Ontario 31 Jan 07

How do you prefer to get your books that you read? Do you buy them new in the book store? Do you buy them from a second hand book store? Do you buy them online? Or do you prefer to use the library? All of the above for me. LOL!...

are you picky about your friends in the real world?

trouble4u2avoid @trouble4u2avoid (2915) • United States 31 Jan 07
