Interesting.
I don't think I've ever read that book.

I really loved the Outsiders when I read in (probably about junior high). I was actually thinking about it the other day, though I don't remember why.
I do remember pronouncing the Socs as "socks" and being quite shocked to find out it was actually "soshes" (as in social) and being glad that I had never said the word out loud to anyone!

I love the Outsiders! It was the book our English class read in grade 8.
(Karen, I made the same mistake with the Socs pronunciation!)

very cool article, i forwarded it to the two lit teachers at school. i love to read about writers and their motivations and their feelings about their work and about reading!

Okay, I'll be different and let ya know I saw the movie but never read the book, neither for school or personal. But the movie remains one of my all-time favorites. :grin:
Thanks Kel! *sm000ch* :kiss:
