What Are You Reading This Month? (March - April)

[Sarah]

I am reading "The Monk" by Matthew Gregory Lewis this month. This novel is very engrossing and opened up a new style of reading that I now love. I'd recommend it to anybody who enjoys the classics. The novel involves forbidden love, corruption of the church, demonic pacts, and takes place during the spanish inquisition. Go read it now!

[Allison]

Right now I'm reading "The Portrait of a Lady" by Henry James. Loving it so far :)

[Jenni]

along with "Watership Down" which I have been reading for years.

[Rachel]

I started reading 'Ghosts of Long Island' months ago but haven't found the time!

I recently picked up 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' at a thrift store for 79 cents (score!) and definitely plan on cracking that open soon.

[Ratana]

I am reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov (this is a Russian novel and I very highly recommend purchasing the translated edition by Diana Burgin and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor).

This book is absolutely amazing, its got characters like the devil, Pontius Pilate, a man sized vodka drinking black cat and a girl named Margarita. Its funny and though-provoking and satirically smart.
