lol@ female puberty being "invented" for men

"Puberty was invented for a reason. It signals the brain when to find a female sexually attractive." What is this pedophile doing out of the greys?

I'm only replying to because I, too, am in the grays and thus this doesn't count as approval of your gross justification for statutory rape that I'm going to go ahead and assume you've committed.

Have you read Morrison? Specifically Beloved?

I actually think this is one of the main things that is going to change in the psychological field in the coming decades, at least based on the research I'm seeing lately. The categorization currently used for psychological disorders is pretty outdated and based purely on behavior rather than underlying physiology. It…

Here's the thing, I eagerly recommend therapy to others if they think they need or want it but it has always been totally miserable for me. Every time I've tried therapy it just freaks me out. I'd cry too much because I was so nervous in sessions. I'd feel patronized or like I'm not really being listened to at all.…

borderlines and sociopaths get worse with therapy Tracy. Not everyone should be in therapy.

I loved this book in school because it felt like I was reading an "adult book" but I still understood everything that was going on. I think you'll find that it's one of those YA books that doesn't feel "too" juvenile.

Excellently. Lee's ability to weave multiple story lines, infuse humor, and not lose Scout's narrative voice is amazing. Her plot is more complicated then the basics known to the cultural mainstream at large, but not for the sake of complications—it's all part of this portrait of who, what, when, where, and how it led…

It has that great reputation for good reasons. I re-read it earlier this year and was astonished at just how well it has held up. Thematically, yes, but also just as an enjoyable book.

I actually don't like the book very much. The prose is too didactic for me. There's the symbolism, themes, your regular run of the mill things & the narration sizzles in the first few chapters, but it gets too nostalgia-ey for my taste later

It's an American classic. I don't know how else to put it other than that. Apart from it being a mandatory read across the U.S., it is truly a great book. It can be funny, and touching, and heartbreaking. I highly recommend it.

I think it's wonderfully written. It uses the main character's innocence as a child as a way to question "why" about quite a lot of things very effectively. Atticus Finch is definitely one of the greatest fictional lawyers ever. It does a great job of showing how even with all the evidence in his favor, people would…

I read it for pleasure when I was 9. My mom wanted me to read it, so she followed me around the house reading it aloud until I agreed to read it. It was funny and insightful. I read it three other times as I got older — not for a long time, though. I think it's a great example of craft.

I have not read it in years, but I do feel that it's required reading. Yes, it's a great exploration of racism and gives a glimpse of a small town/village life in the early 1900's. For me, what touched me the most was Scout's relationship with her father, how that was written as well as her relationship with the…

Why would they judge you? I've always lived in the States and I've never read it. The schools I went to didn't teach it. Other than Faulkner and Twain, I don't think any of my English classes in middle- and high school covered any American authors. It was largely just Brit Lit. Maybe because I was raised in the…
