Why is it that if a character is depressed or upset, they're always seen as "deep?"

There, now don't you feel better?

I would immensly disagree with that.

I've read quite a few books were character's aren't depressed or upset. And have a very, very deep character.

Just look at Sarah Crewe from A Little Princess.

I should also mention I'm reading it right now.

A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, for school but it's turning out to be pretty good either way.

I was saying it in a jaded sort of way. Like, "This doesn't automatically make someone deep." I would quite agree with your sentiment that a cheerful person can be very deep.

One of the villains in my novel is a very happy, cheerful man. Mostly. He's pretty deep.

I'm on the next one now:
Pendragon Book Five: Black Water

Re-Reading Koushun Takami's Battle Royale

Looove this book~ M3

I'm reading The Iliad by Homer right now. I had it recommended to me last November or so, so I'm a bit overdue. It was because I was reading Nicholas Nickleby... so I've gone from classic literature to classical.

I did love it. I loved it so much that I had to go out to a bookstore in West Virginia, and buy more of Sedaris' works. I also got Barrel Fever, which I finished already, naked, which I am halfway completed with, and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, which I will start after I am done with naked, which will probably be around tomorrow afternoon. Now I just need to get Holidays on Ice.

_________________

Wow... All that can be said is that I misread that at first. Sedaris ought to be careful, he's lending himself well to having his readers being misunderstood.

"The other day, I read a book, 'Naked'." <-- Yep. The possibilities go on.

Im jumping on the Eragon band wagon. Its actually pretty good. I cant wait to read Eldest.

Oh, and Ptomleys gate in the Bartimeus Trilogy.

Ahaha. No. I wouldn't do that. I just like the book.
When I posted that, I knew someone would read it like that.

Sheesh Alexander, now you've got me craving Frances Hodgson Burnett books...
This is what I'm reading at the moment: What do you think, Feezal?
It's for eight year olds, or something. But it is a brilliant and cool book. One of my favourites. Just because of it's cool cover.

Couldn't agree more. Have you read Orwell's 1984, as well? You ought to; you'd probably like it, too.

I actually read 1984 and Animal Farm for the first time a few weeks ago. And I must say I was amazed. Not only that something written over 50 years ago could still hold so much relevance, but also that it took me so freakin' long to read either. I tried reading 1984 a couple of times in high school, but just couldn't get into it. This time, I think it was the (promise of) love story that kept me going. The same thing happened with Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five - I started on it a few times before I actually made it all the way through (and thenceforth became addicted to Vonnegut).

Phoo, I've finally finished Gabriel Garcia Marquez'sLove in the Time of Cholera. I put it down for a month, and didn't get into again until this weekend. I'm glad I finished it - GGM is such a superb writer.

I'm starting on his No One Writes to the Colonel next.

I've been wanting to read that ever since I saw Serendipity.

*Sigh* John Cusack...

Oh, is that what that film's based on? Must have a look at that.

And yeah, I'd veeeery much recommend that book.

Oh no, no, that's not what I meant. The book does figure in to the movie, but (as far as I know) it's not based on it. I guess I'd have to read it to find out.

_________________

I used to think Eragon was pretty cool, but I got kind of jaded to it. I love Ptolemy's Gate, but the ending is sad. (I warn ya.)

I'm currently trying to finishing WRITING my book, so I'm not reading so mjuch right now... I want to be, though.

I just got done reading "The Wilding Of America" By Derber. I had to read it for my sociology class, but it's actually a great book. I suggest it for someone that is interested in that sort of thing.

I'm reading Winter's Heart by Robert Jordan, but I did just finish reading And Then There Was None.

_________________

What? Ptomleys Gate is Sad at the ending? I have to wait to read that because I need to finish eragon because I got it from the library! -Goes and kicks Jonathan Strout- Im better.

I decided to read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee for my summer reading, and I must say that no other book has made me read 70 pages non-stop before. So, I guess that means I like it.

_________________

70? That's it? Wow. And I though I didn't like to read. The most pages I have read in one sitting is 300 something, but that doesn't count to me. It was Harry Potter, and everyone reads insane amounts of pages per sitting with those books.
Other than that, I read Barrel Fever all in one sitting.
I haven't touched naked (the book) in two days. I need to finish that.

Meh, it's not the destination but the journey that's most fun...

Gah! I feel like a bad fortune cookie now. Anyway, congrats on finding a good book to read DS.

Meanwhile, I've barely touched that John Shirley book I said I was reading about 50 posts back. I need to fix that.

I'm reading 1984.

And the main character looks like Gordon Freeman, and Big Brother is Dr. Breen...

Oh, how sad I am...

XD Only 300? That last Harry Potter book took up an entire day of my life. I didn't even stop to evacuate my bowels.

I finished up The Gunslinger and hope to get to the library to start up The Drawing of the Three soon.

Yeah, I told you I don't like to read. So, for me 300 something is a ton.


I would be done with that durn book (naked if I could read in the cars without getting sick.

Seven hours. In that same amount of time, I typed 11 pages in my book.
