I haven't seen the movie. I hope to see it soon. The book was fairly good though.
And I'm with your "DS" (I'm assuming thats short for Daughter?) on text reading. Its evil. Though I dont find reading difficult in the least - but I still hate text. I took a Sociology class this year (I'm in High School but taking Univeristy classes on the side) and that text was the absolute most boring thing in the world. -Michael On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 10:18:02 +1100, Yvette O'Dowd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'll keep you in mind, my DS almost 14 has to read The Outsiders this year > for school.
