And Now

Since I keep reading books like a fat kid it's cake here is my list of books I am reading at the moment:
1. White Teeth, still, it's a little bit hard to get into but it's getting there. I will keep working on it.
2. I am up to the last few pages of Bright Star....the poems. I am determined to read all the poems though.
3. And I just got Breaking Open the Head in the mail the other day so I will be reading that one as well. I have read the first few pages and it seems very interesting. But I'm sure it won't change my opinion on drugs, since that is what it is all about. But it is a learning experience. I like it so far.

I am still waiting for The Last Song to arrive in the mail, and I also bought Pretending to be Normal which I am really looking forward to! I have a never ending list of books that will arrive.
I love getting new books.

For One More Day by Mitch Albom

I have to say that I liked this book a lot, it was happy and sad at the same time but in the best way possible. This is my third Mitch Albom book and I have liked all of them, no matter what almost every one of my family members say about them. I think I actually might like this one the best. And although it is fiction I felt like it was a true story. And I didn't put it down until I finished it. I really liked how the story was told. From Chick's point of view. And I really liked how the mother still remained forgiving throughout the entire story, there wasn't a single part where she was angry with what had become of her life. It reminded me of what everyone wishes they had as a mom. It's what every mother wants to be. It sort of reminded me of my own mom. And when you read a book that reminds you of your own life you see it in a different way. And you connect with it in a different way. So I say if you want to read a Mitch Albom book you should read this one. I did like The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesday's with Morrie. But For One More Day has to be my favorite one. It was loving, enjoyable, and comforting.

Nightlight: A Parody by The Harvard Lampoon

So yes, this was a book that just made fun of the real book Twilight. And I liked Twilight, I thought it was a good book. And Nightlight was funny too! It just sort of made everything in the book Twilight, silly and stupid. Some parts I have to admit, I thought were hilarious and perfect but others seemed just silly. A big part of Twilight was completely overlooked and I think that if they added this HUGE part and made fun of it, the book would have been much better, instead of twisting the story so much into what was kind of a whole new weird, pretty dumb story all together. And it was written by college students I believe? Well it seems to me that in the beginning of the book they were having a lot of fun and everything was really clever and funny and then they all got lazy and had other things to do instead of make fun of someone else's work?
I don't know. It was for a laugh, and I guess I got a few.

Books

I really can't keep my hands off of them. I am constantly browsing Half.com for cheap, used books! It's great way to find a good book and you get to keep it and love it forever.
So I am still reading Bright Star and White Teeth. But I accidentally started reading Nightlight, a parody of the famous Twilight book. It's simply for laughs, and I'm almost finished with it...I gotta get going on the other too though. I keep seeing more and more interesting books to read and buying them!
like I just bought The Last Song, Nicolas Sparks most recent novel. And For One More Day, Mitch Albom's novel. I hope I finish two books before these two come in the mail!

Angus, thongs and full-frontal snogging by Louise Rennison

So I just finished up this book in the tub.

Yes it was childish, and yes it was fun! This girl, Georgia, is quite mean. Like I was never like that when I was 14. And she is also very lucky. But this book is kind of unrealistic, but what book isn't? All in all it was a happy book and a nice calming, relaxing read. And I have to say that I read this after I saw the movie, the guy was nice to look at, but I thought certain parts were a lot better in the movie. More Passionate. If you can call a movie on Teen Nick passionate. But yeah...this was a kid friendly book, kids (girls) would love this. It's written like a diary and it was fun!

on to the next two.

And now...

I have been reading three books:

1. Bright Star (which is love letters and poems from John Keats to Fanny Brawne) I haven't gotten very far, but it's interesting to read how romantic men used to be years and years ago.

Oh how things have changed!

2. Angus, Thongs, And Full-frontal Snogging (A story written in the voice of a british girls journal, if that makes sense) I'm almost done with it. I only started reading it because they had a movie of it on teen nick, and the guy was quite lovely. I have to say it's a little young, but it's sort of a brain break.

If you know what I mean.

3. White Teeth (not quite sure what it is really about.....) I am on page 7. So nothing has really happened and the characters name's are hard to pronounce and that always confuses me on what's going on. I don't know if that confuses anyone else? But I started reading this because my brother and I wanted to read a book together. And this is what he choose.

So it must be good....right?

The Stranger By Albert Camus

I heard from multiple people that this book is great...it might just be me but I didn't think it was all that great. It was short. And that's fine, it was quick and easy. And I don't know. Not a lot happened but a lot did. The writing and length made it seem like a few days in the life of some nobody guy. But really it was like months? what? I didn't get it.

Maybe it's like the Catcher in the Rye. A book about a nobody, who in the end still turns out to be a nobody. I have to say I was pretty damn bored. And for the first part of the book I was confused at why such pointless stuff was said. I didn't see the significance of any of the characters. Except the priest in the end. He was the best part of the book and he was in like three pages.

I hope anyone who reads this doesn't get mad, thinking that this book is just super great and everyone should read it. I must not have understood it well enough. Maybe it is better in French?

On to something new, something with a plot? something longer than 100 pages?

If you have a different opinion please explain it to me..because this was just a boring plain book...

I may have been a little hard, you see...it bored me. And it made me think too much. And I guess a good book makes you think, but this was too much thinking, it was like...everything was left up to the imagination. I don't like that.
