1) I never said The Da Vinci Code is a well-written book. 2) The only agenda I see getting pushed here is your own. I'm not the one telling kids to stop reading what they like. 3) I had 100+ shakezula808s this last semester, so I know the demograp…

As for literature for today's youth, discussing the modus operandi of societal control vis-a-vis '1984' versus 'Brave New World' would prove at least somewhat enlightening, methinks... Neither title should prove daunting in content and/or style...…

Really? That book isn't really deep, though. Catcher is HELLA deep. Salinger & eastern philosophy. Very heavy reading. No it's not. I am but 17 years old and vividly remember reading "Catcher in The Rye: in 9th Grade English H. The majority …

You brought up the depth of a piece of literature from the get-go, or at least implied it. nope, depth was never in question. The focus is on literary quality. You know what they say when you "assume". The depth of a piece of literature reaches do…

I fail to see how "deep" has entered into the equation? You asked for suggestions of literary classics that can appeal to your students. Reasons why "Catcher In The Rye" works..... a) it's short, overcomes one of their most critical 1st impression…

I think you're discrediting youth today just a tad bit. There are certainly much better starting material for them to read than the authors you have stated. Where should they begin?

dan brown writes books for people who don't normally read. Read what? Capital 'L' literature? I say anything that facilitates the act of reading these days is a gift, considering how closely tied success is to one's reading level. Ask an English t…

HATTERS There is a difference between hatting and recognizing a complete lack of talent, subtlety or sophistication. Two of my friends and I were having this conversation the other day. Two of us argued that Tom Hanks is so steady with his craft…

In preparation for this film, I read the book in two days. I doubt the movie will live up.

Not if Elliott had won.

I watched this stupid show all season for this?

I'd almost rather read that than your more-meta-than-Tom Stoppard reviews.

Man, I don't think the customers paid whatever price to listen to musical quotes. Granted, those who know these things might have had a richer musical experience (maybe not), but one thing's for certain: you telling them about these musical quotes p…

He'll be playing AAA for Pitchfork soon enough, I hope.

Yes I am.

No takers? How about... Brenda Watts - Love Like That D Train - Keep On Tia Monae - Don't Keep Me Waiting Inner Life - Let's Change It Up Leroy Burgess - Heartbreaker

Dear Mack, first of all, I love your fashion manifesto. You should seek a publisher. I'll write the foreword. HOTDISH FASHION An epiphany yesterday captured my mind -- the smiling children of Cairo unfurling roll upon roll of brightly colored br…

I'm pleased with the 710.

I forgot about "Sittin Sidewayz." Haven't heard "Chunk up the Deuce" or "Picture Perfect." I'm guessing most people probably haven't, either. Sorry, but "Ridin" does not do it for me.

Mr. Rillz, please explain how an album like Get Ya Mind Correct spawns two of the most mediocre, boring artists of the last year and a half. Definitely gotta be "Snap Ya Fingaz" for SJ.

Just some low-level boogie 12"s Kashif - Baby Don't Break Your Baby's Heart (Arista 1984) Simplicious - Let Her Feel It (Philly World Records 1984) Richard Jon Smith - Stay With Me Tonight (Jive 1982) Shannon - Stronger Together (Mirage 1985) For …

Maybe because it was a term introduced by black people, or at least used almost exclusively by? Stop taking the context out of it. I do agree with the media's horrible portrayal of what defines ghetto. We can thank C.O.P.S. for that one.

Don't make me get out the jpeg rare of me in Cross Colors and KJ Converses. Fuck Karl Kani. Let's make this more gender inclusive: White girls in "Ghetto Fabulous" shirts. Your thoughts?

Can we see some sales statistics broken down according to race?

Heat in 5?

Yep -- towards the end.

I'm just going off of what happened at the end. Perhaps I took Prince driving it to the rim instead of taking the TO that Flip wanted as a bigger sign than it should have been. What do you think, Drewn?

I doubt Flip will return. The team seems to have no respect for him.
