This book is Harper Lee's masterpiece. I like the symbolism it inculdes very much. Are you a good reader? Did you read the Da Vinci Code? Tell me what you think about it.

Have you perhaps read the book "MOOM"? I would like to find this book again.It was a cheap paperback horror novel about a retarded man who, if he managed to escape his elderly mother's basement, ran wild towards the full moon, screaming "MOOM, MOOM" and tearing to pieces anything or anyone on his path, creating mayhem and terror in the town. I beg of you to read this book.

As a whole this was a great book. There wasn't one particular part that I liked the best, but it was pretty sad the way it ended. It didn't seem that good at first because--come on, talking animals? Where haven't we seen that before? But if you look beyond the slight stupidity, it's an awesome book. \n\nIt would have been interesting, though, if all the other animals rebelled against the pigs, and started their own little government. And then eventually THEY would have a rebellion, too, until sooner or later there would be no government whatsoever, just a bunch of angry farm animals running around and killing eachother. Just a thought.

Haven't seen the movie, yet. I liked the book as a work of fiction though. It really kept me entertained. I don't see why so many people are believeing it as fact, though. Its not like Dan Brown is a theologian. He's a novelist. People should read his other stuff, though... it gives a clearer idea of what kind of stuff the guy writes.

"Presidential material, through and through!\nAfter reading the enclosed story "The Pet Goat," I was stunned by its lyrical beauty and easy cadence. The tempo, the choice of words, and the layout on each page captured my imagination so much that it took me about seven minutes to recover my bearings."\n\n---Amazon Reviewer "Lolla Fallujah" (FIVE STARS!)\n\ncopy/paste

I've got the book, and haven't got round to reading it yet. I know what its about roughly though, didn't know pedophilia was a large plot point, but i knew sex was there a lot.\n\nSame can be said for the Anne Rice (Anne Roquelare) books, some call them smut, some call them art.\n\nGonna go read it now :)

The Four Blind Men And The Elephant:\n\nFour blind men went to find out what an elephant was.\nThe first one put his hand on the elephant's trunk, and said, "I know what an elephant is! It is a long, sinuous, snake-like creature!"\n\nThe second blind man put his hand on the elephant's leg, and said, "I know what an elephant is! It is a straight, strong creature, like the trunk of a tree!"\n\nThe third blind man put his hand on the elephant's side, and said, "I know what an elephant is! It is a broad, smooth creature, like a wall!"\n\nThe fourth blind man put his hand on the elephant's tail, and said, "I know what an elephant is! It is a long, slender creature, like a rope!"\n\nWere any of them entirely right? Were any of them entirely wrong?

Yes, I have read it, in fact if you look at my bio you'll see it listed.  Reading "don't take things personally" made me cry.  To think I had lived so long and set myself up for so much pain, when I read these words, it had a PROFOUND change on my thinking.  \n\nGreat read, and I work hard to make the agreements a way of life.  \n\nPeace.

I'm glad you asked that, not because I have the answer but because me and my daughter, well . . . me anyways, are reading Moby Dick, and I never remembered it being so detailed on Cetology or in the beginning of the novel before he meets Queequeg.   Maybe I cheated back in my highschool or junior high days and got the Cliff Notes, but I coulda swore I read the book.  Oh well, that's been many decades ago.  I just got past the part where Captain Ahab kicked Stubb (First Mate isn't he??) and Stubb had the dream where someone asks him why is it so bad to be kicked by Ahab since his leg is made of ivory,etc..  My daughter, who lives with her mother about 65 miles southeast of me, probably hasn't read one word of it since she's a lot like her mother, who didn't like to read.  I read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to her when she was pregnant with either our son or daughter, I can't remember which.  She liked to be read to but wouldn't do it herself, so, I doubt my daughter has read any of "Moby Dick" since she hasn't said anything about it.  Oh well, I'm rambling on.  Sorry.  Maybe I'll continue the book, but the Cetology part is way too detailed and "informational" for me.  I want more "action", and am becoming too addicted to the brainless tv, and too lazy to read fine novels.  I hope you finish the book.  It's a wonderful piece of literature.  God Bless you.

I have read this book a couple of times and am looking forward to the movie.\n\nI think it is a great piece of fiction.  Sure, there are some truths in it, but for the most part it is pure fiction.  I have been to many of the sites that he pointed to in the book and some just aren't the way he stated.\n\nI think that it makes baseless claims about Jesus being married and having a child, and a few other things, but that is his perogotive as a writer of fiction.\n\nI am Catholic and am not in a hissy or upset or mad that the book was written, but I am upset and mad when people use it as a basis to trash my Catholic faith.  It is FICTION!  He says so himself!  But regardless of being true or not, I look at it this way, if Jesus was married and had a child, what better roll model for me, as a Catholic father to have?

Wish I did, it would be very enlightening to hear their side of the story.\n\nSaw the movie, and was very impressed with it.  Best movie about 'Nam I've ever seen.
