Great taste :)<br /><br />MJ – It really makes it much more interesting and I felt a lot more sympathy for Gregor after reading about Ender.<br /><br />Cassie – In that case, check out my N (slash second M) post…<br /><br />Simon – Me too. It’s so bizarre, but in the best possible way. <br /><br />Andrew – We seem to keep doing that. Apparently (apart from Hunger Games), we love all the same things. Going to check out your post now. <br /><br />Alex – Good lord. Go to a bookstore immediately!<br /><br />Lynda – That’s exactly why I love it as well.S. L.

If everyone has equality then there's no reason for alienation - inequality alienates.<br /><br /><br />There's no doubt that metamorphosis is gradually taking place all over the world; and it's taking place because people are 'seeing" becoming consciously aware of the blinders and barriers that have kept and keep humanity in a cocoon stage.<br /><br />Haven't read either book- both sound like great reads. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://bettyalark.blogspot.comBetty Alarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132689351854403823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-15013494157662802652012-04-14T09:23:19.381-07:002012-04-14T09:23:19.381-07:00I loved The Metamorphosis from the moment I read i...I loved The Metamorphosis from the moment I read it in high school.
