heh...I never finished the seventh one. It was the only one I got too bored with in the middle. I wouldn't say I enjoyed them too much, as I started in like 5th grade or something and then just kept reading because I wanted to know how it ended. Funny that I got all the way and still don't know how it ends.

Don't tell me

I feel like some weekend I should do that before someone spoils it for me, assuming it to be common knowledge, and long enough after the publication of the seventh book that it wouldn't ruin anything.

I used Spark Notes for all my assigned readings until like senior year in high school. A lot of the classics I never really finished reading, but I remember enough of the discussion and the themes and such from the Spark Notes enough to talk about them.

I spent all night reading Jane Eyre once for a test on it the next day. Something like 400 pages of Bronte...it was pretty crazy. Too bad I failed that class because I couldn't turn in the final paper on time . It's the only literature class, or really, the only class ever that I've failed. Damn professor. And I can't do the GRO (grade replacement option) where you retake the class for a higher grade because the class got cut due to budget issues.

I enjoy Paulo Coehlo books even though a lot of people have said he's kind of a cop-out, writing self-help fiction. I don't really care much for the great truths he attempts to partake on the audience, but The Alchemist was an enjoyable read for me. I really liked Eleven Minutes and The Witch of Portobello, although the latter's "magic" talk made me roll my eyes. More the way the story was told was what got me.

There's only one novel (as far as I can recall right now) I've read twice. "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. I've read a bunch of poems twice or something, but no novels other than that one.

And I'll admit to having lied about having read a book that I actually haven't once or twice just to get conversation about it going.

I HAVE read Ulysses. I've even written an essay on it (not that one is a prerequisite for the other. In fact there are probably more essays out there written by people who haven't read it, than who have).

Unfortunately, I've also read, as well as written, a lot of Harry Potter fanfiction. I'm was a MWPP fan. Sirius/OC, but a bit of l/j love/hate didn't go amiss either. And there was this other great one about Charlie Weasley....

But can you prove that?

I once read a smut book, it was called 'Stormy Surrender', you know, one of those books you see when you go to Walmart? I read it more for the lulz than anything, it was ridiculous.

I think I have no little dark literary secrets... mostly because I'm never ashamed of what I read and also because most people I talk about book with really don't read much.
Even so, I think my literary sin would be keeping focused in mostly one genre and not giving others a chance that often... I tend to keep to fantasy fiction and I know I'm missing on much by doing that, but it's stronger than me, I like magic! lol

No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.

I'm pretty honest about what I have and haven't read. I've only read a quarter of Ulysses (I really do mean to finish it one of these days). I have never technically read all of Heart of Darkness, despite having it assigned in 2 separate classes. I read a few Stephen King books when I was 13; actually, I just finished one a few months ago. I have also read an Oprah's Book Club selection, but only because it was written by Joyce Carol Oates. And I've read three V.C. Andrews novels (after the age of 16).

my life in movies: [link]

I don't have any secrets... unless you count hating virtually any classic book other than those by Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, and George Orwell. I read their stuff before school beat the crap of it so I couldn't enjoy it.
