i've thought of one: sugar rush by the magnificent julie burchill! |

i've thought of one: sugar rush by the magnificent julie burchill! | yes, first he thinks his love for rosaline was the real deal, then sees juliet and realizes what he felt before was nonsense compared to this.
i thought it was a nice message for people who are lovesick?
sugar rush? is that the one with the girl who falls in love with her best friend (nicknamed sugar) ??

| | Wenn du es in England kaufst, findest du es mit den Kinderbuecher! Seltsam, oder?!  Du bist super-reizend. Deiner Englisch auch. Ich brauche keine Ausrede, auf Deutsch zu plaudern!  |

| | | I would suggest Madame Bovary, but I think you would misunderstand it as badly as the people who used it for a perfume commercial.

anyway i am probably going to get run out of town for saying this, but ew great gatsby. epic boring.
but i tend to find love stories really boring in general. i avoid them like the plague. they tend to come up all the time on english lit papers though, which is how i end up reading them.
i did like Great Expectations though. probably because it wasn't just about "love".
the only other unrequited love stories i can think of are Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and My Antonia by Willa Cather. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | |
