I've read the Warriors series, as well... I loved them. I enjoyed the new ones, too, but I agree that the original was better.

Whoa... That's a lot. And I'll have to add them all to my list, seeing as we seem to have the same taste in books.

Edgar Allan Poe = <3
I have very few favourite poem's but The Raven is one of them. The fluidity of it is hypnotic.

Yeah, it was kind od amusing. I didn't really understand it but yet, I was in love with it! ^_^ I was like that with a lot of literature and Classical music also. Ever since i was little I've enjoyed Mozart, hayden, and so may more although I perfer to play more rag-time type piano pieces.

Classical music never really enthralled me. There are a few pieces (mostly i don't know the names but i can hum them ) that i really enjoy. But many just wash over me. Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (i think) is one that always gets me. Also, Madame Butterfly, obviously. I was raised on alternative 80s electro and rock so it has shaped my opinions of music quite sharply. I absolutely adore Muse. Matt Bellamy may not have the greatest voice but i just find their music really powerful stuff.

Yeah, I wasn't introduced to Classical until I turned the 5th grade, when I began piano lessons. I still mainly listen to Rock with some country now and then. =] It is quite funny. When Ty (the young man i am postively in love with) go on a road trip, I make him listen to a country song or two just to get to him. lol. Although, he dose the same to me with screamo.

My brother plays the violin, and is spectacular at it, so I've heard a lot of classical music over the years. I really love some of it, but I'd rather not play it (I play piano). I'd rather listen to musical and movie soundtracks, honestly... It has to have a story to really interest me. Lol.

I do agree with you to an extent Saphiresmoke. I do, however, enjoy laying on my bed and listening to the classical music when I am upset to an extream. That is, If it's not running-weather. (To me, everything except snow is running weather)

Lol. I hate running... Except for sprints. I love sprinting... My entire soccer team thinks I'm insane. The tennis team, too. ;D
