This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Huh. I guess my experience was better I remember reading My Side of the Mountain and The Giver, among other things. Usually pretty decent reads though.

I read The Giver as an adult, and I can absolutely confirm it was good. I also recall the books I was required to read were pretty good, but I didn't like them at the time because they were required.

I always assumed that the kid and the baby die at the end, but then I guess the author wrote a second book just to make everyone feel better.

There were actually four total in the series, but they're not really direct sequels, just more stories in the same world.

I really enjoyed these books, I remember them to this day
