The NH State Fall Games? Congrats. But I would have assumed you would need to reside in New Hampshire.

I 2 balt. All I remember is a someone getting on a sled, possibly drunk, and seriously getting mangled. I was optimisitic bc I thought there might be sex in it when I picked it up. Total letdown. I am told that I should read that Wharton book on society and the mannered folks of turno f the century NYC, but I feel like it would be like watching an old movie that has been improved on. I have also never read V. Woolf for the same reason (and avoided her in HS and college)

"That Wharton book" is essentially all of them (with the exception of Ethan Frome). I love Edith Wharton (lots of W authors, actually, but that's just coincidence). Even my neanderthal husband liked The House of Mirth (that he even read it is astonishing to me, acutally); my guess is that's the one you're referrring to.

Virginia Woolf is completely different. I don't think I would have appreciated Mrs. Dalloway (for example) when I was in HS or maybe even college, but I read it recently and loved it (which induced me to read To the Lighthouse, which I also loved).

Give them a CHANCE, man!

As with Canada, I am an honourary resident of NH in recognition of the good works I have done to benefit the less fortunate amongst the Granite State's residents.

Coincidentally, you are scarily close with this guess, not for event but for location. Did you hack me?

I read the Awakening in high school and used it as the subject of my long essay on the AP exam (I got a 5, b/c I'm fancy). I tried to read Wide Sargasso Sea but it was too painful, even though I love Jane Eyre. I did watch the movie of WSS, but it sucked too. I had to read Franny & Zooey in my college class for people who liked to do drugs. I honestly didn't know that a class called "Altered States" would be filled with people who had done acid a minium of 5 times. I was that sheltered.

Oh, and I read Bell Jar on my own when I was in middle school. Was there sex in that book?

Altered States? Shit, I went to the wrong college. The closest thing I got to a drug class was some quasi psychology classa about how drugs actually work. Like seratonin uptake inhibition or something. All I wanted to know was whether X really caused back pain or if that was an urban legend bc I never experienced that.

I must have read Bell Jar three times and do not recall sex, but would guess that she mentions it. and it sucks. I never did find a great sex book through the academic route. I soon turned to Anais Nin and Henry Miller, and that was not so hot either. That is also when I read Portnoy's Complaint. I suppose I discovered Judith Krantz not long after. Supermarket Lit is where its at when you are 16

You strike me as a swimmer, no offence, and swimmers can become good bikers.....

You know, that doesn't feel too far off. I was in like what, eighth grade? I wonder if Mr. Matteis is still alive? He was a smoker. Surely he would remember that academic tour de force. I remember being utterly embarrassed when I realized what I was supposed to do on that essay.

I started reading my mother's stash of bodice rippers when I was seven (with my mother's permission) so I didn't have to look to actual literature to find out about sex. I also had HBO and Showtime in my bedroom on my tv starting when I was about 8. I think having all this early knowledge about sex is what caused me to hang onto my virginity until my mid-20s.

Mental note to self: "big-boned, big-boned, big-boned."
