Ragtime & The Pearl — 3 years ago
Ragtime was fun to read and I liked how all of the characters’ lives intertwined. The Pearl was a beautiful short story, and I loved it.
UtFOJ — 3 years ago
I had a bit of a hard time with this book at the beginning, but then toward the end I started reading Twilight at the same time, and I returned to this book right at the climax and realized how beautifully it was written in comparison. It really made me see the other side of the picture in a way I haven’t before. It was a very beautiful story, and I hope to read more from this author. It was the first time I really didn’t look at the other side from a “white” perspective, but just from the perspective of her characters.
Invisible Man — 3 years ago
Completed November 9, 2008. I was kind of let-down by the ending, but it a really interesting book. Read for English.
The Sun also Rises — 3 years ago
Completed Oct 18, 2008. Did not like this. I know it’s supposed to be only a surface read, but “surface” is all I got. Not impressed. :(
100 years of solitude — 3 years ago
Completed October 13, 2008. Really liked this. It was my second time trying to get through it, and it was totally worth it. Completely fell into this world.
mark twain, pudd'nhead wilson — 3 years ago
Really funny! I had a hard time reading Twain in high school but I think he deserves another shot. I liked this. Completed September 17, 2008 for English.
last of mohicans & frederick douglass — 3 years ago
Last of the Mohicans was completed on Sunday, Sept. 7th for my English class (Major American Authors), and Frederick Douglass’s autobiography was also completed for this class on Sept. 10th, 2008.
LotM was long and hard to get in to, despite all of the action. The language was really hard t o read, as well, and Cooper used way too many commas.
Frederick Douglass’s narrative was written very nicely, but very carefully. It was interesting to read, and I found his critiques to be pretty dead on.
Transgressions — 3 years ago
Completed August 14, 2008. Not bad, not great. The authors seems to write well, but all of her stories seemed the same.
