I don't understand the point of over-analysis unless you're one of those people who actually do it for a job. Like teachers.

I read books because they're interesting, eye-catching, exciting of intriguing, not what people think about it or stuff like that. I read it for what it is, not for what it breaks down to. Because like food entering the body, it will eventually break down in its own process.

1984. I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually very good. Best text I had to read out of all of them in English. I kept the book after school finished. :D

Then again, I read it in year 12, but if I had to read it in any grade younger than that I definitely wouldn't have that opinion. *shifty eyed look*

It's deep man. I also don't like stories without happy endings. But I would enjoy it for the literary juiciness.

I've had to stop myself from reading or watching stories with sad endings because they have the ability to make me extremely depressed. Cough, nana, cough. So usually I find as many spoilers as I can for a story or show or movie before I start it. I just enjoy happy endings so much more. I can handle depression and drama once in a while, but it just tends to put me in a sour mood.

I think the only depressing, dramatic movie I've ever been able to watch repeatedly and enjoy was Pans Labyrinth, but probably because it was a happy ending disguised as a depressing one? If that makes any sense.

Pan's Labyrinth was awesome. Pale Man was nightmarish.

Holy crap so did I. The same night I first watched it, I was spending the night over a friend's house and she left me alone in the basement for a half an hour so she could go take a shower. I was sitting there frozen, looking around corners for the pale man xD...yea, I usually avoid horror movies too. I remember when The Ring first came out, it was the first horror movie I had ever sat through and I lost so much sleep over it ._.

And yea, Mercedez is so boss. Ofelia's stepdad was such a bastard, she should have just finished his ass right there.
