I'm glad you said something, because I thought it was just me.
I believe I read "Old Man and The Sea"; "Of Mice 'n Men"; "A Nation of Sheep," etc. but that was back in school, many moons ago. I'm experimenting and trying to discern what makes certain books best sellers. I read somewhere that people have such busy lives and such little time, they like books about 200 pages in size so they can zip through them. I've read books, with glaring mistakes, supposedly written by famous people. The public seems to think it's an easy thing to write a book. But those are the folks' that never tried to accomplish the very undertaking they're critizing.

Just finished reading "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. I liked most of it but the ending disappointed me. Bad people shouldn't get away with doing bad things, which happens in real life. And that makes me sick. This book did reached the New York Times Best Sellers List, so perhaps I'm in the minority. Anyone else read "Gone Girl"?

I haven't read that one, jabber. I read the synopsis, and it just didn't appeal to me. Same for the whole Hunger Games series - didn't interest me.

Hi yonuh,
Like I said, I liked it all the way to the end. The ending is shockingly abrupt. And with a ton of rottenness, nobody is accountable. What a crock of crackers!
