I mean the sort of person who doesn’t feel too upset about the prospect of a weekend spent seeing no one, and reading good books on the couch. It wasn’t like I was a people hater or anything. I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would also be happy without them."

yeah, but that's kind of intentional. they were planning to make every title start with "the", not to mention it's one of the most commonly used words, like "a".

Lol, yea i noticed. It was overy used. Like, every single Animorph said the word 'look' before starting a sentence. Marco and Rachel were the worst.

But since we're on that subject, I found it odd how Marco was this guy who clearly didnt care for reading, especially long books, and yet there he was in his narrative referencing Tolkien and Lord of the Rings. And many times i might add.

And i know it was only because KA was a big Tolkien lover, but still, bad characterization for Marco. Contradicts his behavior. It would be easy to see he didnt want people to think he actualyl read books, but come on., all the animorphs referenced similar things...

i never noticed that, but ur rite, for a guy who didnt like to read, he sure did know bout all the long books.


and in reference to this thread, now that u mention it, they did say look alot. i never noticed it till u pointed it out. but interesting

I also noticed an unnervingly large amount of smirking in the series.  Everyone's a sarcastic jerk, it seems xD

Smirk doesn't necessarily mean you're a sarcastic jerk, it's just an expression. Like smiling doesn't mean you're a happy go lucky clown.

And the Marco/LOTR thing makes perfect sense to me, because I have a friend who read LOTR's several times starting in grade school, but barely ever reads anything else, and only read anything while he was in school under protest.

Yes, but most of the people in the series who were smirking were making a smug comment, or were Yeerks x3 The Yeerks did a lot of the smirkage, if I recall.  Not necessarily sarcastic jerks...but more likely to be. ^^

Speaking of LotR and Yeerks, isn't the word Yeerk itself the word for 'orcs' in Elvish?  'Yrch'...heheh, nerdy.
