A Separate Peace

Wait, the coffee came back? Nice.

“This was the tree, and it seemed to me standing there to resemble those men, the giants of your childhood, whom you encounter years later and find that they are not merely smaller in relation to your growth, but that they are absolutey smaller, shrunken by age….[for] the old giants have become pigmies while you were looking the other way.”

Damn you, Phineas! Damn you, wistful regret…

Oddly enough I have to read this book for my English class!!

And boy!—is it boring!

this is awesome!!

THANK YOU!  I was trying to remember the name of that book for like, forever.

Um, and that was pretty great too.

this is my favorite

I read this book for High School English class as well.  Not only was it mind bendingly boring, I never wanted to reach into the pages and slap the shate out of two characters so much in my entire life.  Narcissistic whiners.

oh no he died of a broken heart!
DRIP Phineas…(Phineas n Gene are gay partners) sry to ruin the story if u dont no yet)

you ain’t gotta be old to feel nostalgia for your youth.

I remember reading that book but I don’t remember 90% of it. Bah…make that 99%.

wait? what book

i love the sound he makes when he falls

This is definitely my favorite…it has a very Monty Python-esque feel to it. Very “How to not bee seen”.

i half-expected for a ghost to flash across the screen, like those scary vids

6.0!!!

Brianz, I thought the exact same thing!

ha!  Wondeful

Who jounced the limb though!?

@ Ellie, it gets more exciting when he describes Phineas’ ass. After that point, you read it as a novel about boy/boy love.

@Mike, the book we’re talking about is A Separate Peace. Please try to keep up. Kthxbye.

i love a separate peace. never got to read it for high school, they took it out of the curriculum. oddly enough i’m rereading it now.

Fuckers took this from a Monty Python sketch.
