Book 33:La Symphonie Pastorale and Isabelle by André Gide
The first novella had some interesting ideas presented in the corniest possible way. I really liked Isabelle though.
Book 31:The Ballad of the Sad Cafe and Other Stories by Carson McCullers
I can't believe how dull and obvious these stories were.
I forgot I read this for my Shakespeare class!Book 27:
Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
Wonderful! It's a shame that Marc Antony is such an ass in Antony and Cleopatra
Now, second half. Just like me. Had an entire year to read 50 books, but I like reading half of them in just a couple of months.Book 26:
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Gory, violent book. Yet, the character I liked the least was Oliver Twist. He's such a pansy.
Ok, only 25 more books to go... Will I be able to make it??
Wow, You know better than me, Tiffany, thank you!!!
I accidentally deleted Book 11, and now I've forgotten which one it was... Well, never mind,
Book 25:Drown by Junot Díaz
Very similar to How the García Girls Lost Their Accents, but a little bit cruder.
Book 24:Pet Sematary by Stephen King
You see, one day I read a beautiful, poignant novel, and the next I read just crap. I think I've really had enough of the king of crap now, and I've got him out of my system. Now I feel ashamed I've wasted so much time reading this trash.
