<p>is it bad to put Paris Hilton’s confession of a heiress as one of the books you had enjoyed reading? lol
or is it a bad impression?</p>
<p>i would not suggest it. I mean, its Paris Hilton…</p>
<p>if you enjoyed any book written by Paris Hilton, then I wouldn’t reccomend college.</p>
<p>yes i wholeheartedly agree…</p>
<p>Be true to yourself. If you liked it and if it’s important to you, then I hope you do include it in your app.</p>
<p>I think it really depends where you are applying to. If its a major safety I wouldn’t really worry about it, but a top school that would be really iffy. I had a question like that on my scholarship app but I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting that down. Just think what other people are writing. Sure it would make you stand out, but would it be in a good way?</p>
<p>Put it down! It will make you stand out from others…</p>
<p>i could think of so many books but this one is so funny!
i was thinking of putting it for some top colleges, yea…</p>
<p>You know what’s really funny? That Southpark episode about Paris Hilton. Yeah, you should definitely write about that instead.</p>
<p>Yeah…hmmmm…interesting. Hey, I think it’s cool, strange, but cool, sometimes you need some superficial fluff to lighten the day. If anything it’s a window into American media and decayed wealth. Sandwich it like this: </p>
<p>Siddartha, by Hermann Hesse, Confessions of an Heiress, by Paris Hilton, A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway, War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy…etc, etc. </p>
<p>Actually, the other three are some of my favorites. People ridicule War and Peace as being too long, but it is TOTALLY worth the time, it’s spectacular.</p>
<p>War & Peace goes along with books like Piligrim’s Progress, as overly long and dreadful.</p>
<p>Perhaps, but you must persevere! Russian lit is so often overlooked in high school, what about some short Chekov stories? I can see where “classics” aren’t what they were cracked up to be in literature, and personally, I can’t stand Mark Twain. Length is not an issue for me…writing style is.</p>
<p>What college requires you to put books that you have enjoyed.</p>
<p>i think columbia requires that</p>
<p>Writing by Paris Hilton is considered a “book”? Or have we redefined what “literature” is?</p>
<p>
That’s because it’s an epic…? Or do you prefer the americanized, shortened version of War and Peace, which has the length and seriousness of a comic book?</p>
<p>
You’re right. I’m Russian and I can tell you that’s even better in the original language. Nearly all literature is.</p>
<p>…shes hot.</p>
<p>…very much so</p>
<p>Don’t forget no school will admit/reject you based on mentioning Paris Hilton in your app.</p>
<p>Write what you really like. Don’t try to guess what an admissions officer would like to see.</p>
<p>Write down the Paris Hilton book only if you want to attend the college that she attends.</p>
