The Outsiders is one of those books that everyone should read at least once in their life. It can truly resonate with any generation.

Leniverse Yes, Oldboy! The Korean original, right? I mean, as much as I like Spike Lee and the entire cast, that remake was beyond redundant. 4mo
jlhammar Yoko Ogawa - great choice! Love her books. I had a different Sharon Van Etten song on mine (One Day). She's so good. 4mo
vivastory @Leniverse Def. the original! It belongs with other films where I consider the remake to be superfluous & haven't bothered watching, despite how much I might like the director (Girl w/ the Dragon Tattoo & remake of Let the Right One In both come to mind) 4mo
vivastory @jlhammar Ogawa is fantastic. I have read only a couple of her books, but they were both favorites. Sharon Van Etten is def a favorite. 3 of my favorite songs of last year were by her. 4mo
Leniverse @vivastory I have watched both of those, and the latter especially is gorgeous cinematography but completely fails to capture the gritty feel of the novel (or original movie). But one I refuse to watch is The Departed. 4mo

“ Stay gold Ponyboy. Stay gold.” One of my all time favorite books and seasons.

I‘m Getting into the fall mood even though it‘s still in the 90‘s here in the Alabama beaches. Beautiful day!

I celebrated by making a new front door wreath and adding a little fall decor to my bike and window frame display. I thought about adding a fake book and may do that next. What do you think?

From The Oklahoman, a partial list of books that are banned or could be banned in the state of OK. And also they got Harper Lee's name wrong. Sometimes, I hate it here.

ravenlee Well, that might be the first time a Twilight book, The Hiding Place, and Lord of the Flies all end up on the same list. (edited) 7mo

"Of all of us, Dally was the one I liked least. He didn't have Soda's understanding or dash, or Two Bit's humor, or even Darry's superman qualities. But I realized that these three appealed to me because they were like the heroes in the novels I read. Dally was real. I liked my books and clouds and sunsets. Dally was so real he scared me."

This might end up as one of my new favorite books. The characters are entertaining and feel incredibly real. Their relationships with each other make you want to root for them, and the end is absolutely heartbreaking.

Our purchases from the Lansing specialty book show! A found a Pratchett 1e he didn't already have and another fantasy novel. I grabbed one of the Gwen Frostic books I'm missing, the signed Hank Green, and the earliest copy of The Outsiders I've ever seen in person. Because I'm a functional human being the moment I picked it up off the shelf I started bawling. 😅🥰

I never read this one before, nor had I seen the movie, and I liked it a lot! Pretty cool that the author added a short intro saying SHE was only 16 when she finished this book, and that she wrote it because there was no proper representation of teenagers around that time. Wild!

CogsOfEncouragement I was so surprised to find out that S. E. stands for Susan Eloise. 1y
Nalbuque @CogsOfEncouragement OMG! I‘ve made this assumption mistake before and it feels pretty crappy!!! Im happy to hear SE is a woman haha I fixed the caption, thanks for the heads up!!! 1y
CogsOfEncouragement I know, but that was why she used her initials instead of her full name. We just did what was expected of us. lol Cool to give credit where credit is due though. 1y

Finally read this book and oh man, this was a flat out masterpiece! 🤤 Very rarely do I come across a book that I can say is truly perfect, but this is one. Well written, great characters, important messages, and deep emotionality. Truly one of the best books I‘ve read this year. If you‘ve never read this book, definitely check it out. And give the movie a view if you haven‘t. It‘s really good too! 🙂

CogsOfEncouragement I read this during a readathon because it is the favorite of a friend. I understand why it is her favorite. 1y

Suggestion from my very surprised boyfriend when he found out I hadn't read The Outsiders. Would I still be tuff if I may or may not have cried a few times?

"Ponyboy can count on his brothers. And on his friends. But not on much else besides trouble with the SOCs, a vicious gang of rich kid whose idea of a good time is beating up "greasers" like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect - until the night someone takes things too far."

Hadn't read this one since high school (which was 35 years ago) & we're going to a community theatre production of it tonight, so I wanted to revisit it. I didn't appreciate this book as a teenager, which makes sense. Easy to see why this is a classic.

The complete novel movie -remade in 2017 with parts filmed in original but cut, is so much better than the original. SO much more like the book and ends MUCH better....

This ends my experience reading this book with an 8th grader until grandbaby hippie in 7 years. IF it is still in the curriculum.

peanutnine Rob Lowe gives an interesting account of his experience filming the movie and his disappointment with the edits in his book 2y
TheBookHippie @peanutnine it‘s so much better without the edits! I highly recommend watching it. 2y

I loved this! Clearly written by a young person, and the plot points/character depth could maybe be criticised if you were looking at it from a lit criticism perspective, but as a view of the world from a disadvantaged teenager and a great, fast story it‘s fantastic. I‘m going to get my teenagers to read it next.

'You read a lot, don't you Ponyboy?' Cherry asked.
I was startled. 'Yeah. Why?'
She kind of shrugged. 'I could just tell. I'll bet you watch sunsets too.' She was quiet for a minute after I nodded. 'I used to watch them too, before I got so busy...'
