Fantasy? Is it young adult?
|
Yup. I like Greek/Roman mythology. I guess I need to read the real stuff like Homer's Odyssey again. I was supposed to read in it high school, but when I was a freshman boys were more interesting. [sweat]
|
haha. I haven't read too much greek mythology lately, but my last semester of college I took a class called Myths, Fairytales, and Archetypes. I am far more charmed by fairytales right now.
|
I like fairytales too.
|
I like to find ones from all the different cultures. There's so much variety.
|
That sounds like fun. :)
I started on The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne but it's too wordy. Bleh. So I'm gonna try to read Pride and Prejudice. |
Pride and Prejudice is pretty good. I didn't like The Scarlet Letter while in school though.
|
I didn't read The Scarlet Letter in High School. Bleh. I've been wanting to read Pride and Prejudice since we talked about it that one day.
|
There isn't much of any required books I like in high school. Some short stories stuck with me and plays. Not novels though.
|
Me either. xP Well except for 1984, have you read that one? It's weird.
|
Oh forgot about that. I LOVE 1984. I never read Animal Farm though.
|
I've never read Animal Farm either. Is that another of his?
|
Yes. It's very similar.
|
Hmmm maybe over the summer I'll look for it. :)
|
sounds like a plan. I'm pretty sure it's shorter.
I don't read much myself. Mostly fanfiction and stuff online that's been reced to me. |
Ah okay. I've been reading a lot lately, being an English major.
Are you done with college? |
That tends to happen. Bless your poor soul... o__o
Yes, for a year already. |
LOL it's okay though, I'm enjoying it. I can't wait to get to the universtiy in the fall and take grammar classes! [squee]
Oh wow!! CONGRATS!!! |
What's fun about grammar? It's all diagramming sentences. Boo. My best friend just finished getting her English masters though. It about killed her.
thanks. |
I thought Animal Farm was by Vonnegut?
lol...I'm probably wrong. 1984 was by George Orwell...When I think of that, I think of the movie Brazil. Wow, was THAT movie ever a trip! I just haven't been on much. Today I shopped with hubby for his son and family who are arriving on Wed. I've started wrapping the grandkid's presents. |
Nope. Should be Orwell.
Brazil?? I see. Get good presents? |
Well, hubby said I got too much, so I'm taking a few things back.
One was this little bead set, and in retrospect, I can see those little beads all over the house. So that one's going back. Mostly it's craft-type stuff to keep them busy while they're here. I looked all over for sidewalk chalk, but it's "out of season". |
haha. How old are the kids?
We got stuffed animal cute things for the girls and a robotic bug thing for the boy. Sidewalk Chalk is always cool though. |
The girl is 8 and the boy is going to be 6.
One thing is kinda kiddish, but I figure what the heck. You can always use more markers and coloring stuff. |
Beads would go everywhere then. Markers really are nice. Crayons though~
My aunt got her grandkids those fuzzy boards from hobby lobby and both the boys and girls all loved them. |
