Okay, so I haven't had much of an appetite for food as of late... (We can blame my medication for that, I believe.) BUT I am now utterly obsessed with reading. I just can't stop.
I started reading Little Dorrit for a while, but I have an awful way of reading classic literature. It takes a lot of effort for me to get into it, and I think it's because of all those outdated books I had to read for "school." More recent novels are much easier for me to get into. Which, I think, is the case for many. So, anyways, I got bored with LD and my holds at the library came in. At last! I had my hands on The Fault In Our Stars and Where'd You Go, Bernadette. I pretty much devoured them in two days, each. Where'd You Go, Bernadette was pretty good. Rather witty. And I like wit. But... I don't think I enjoyed it as much as I could have, because I had a pretty awful book hangover from The Fault In Our Stars. TFIOS was just so stinking good. I mean, sure, there was some inappropriate content... But it's a heck of a lot better than the crap they throw into movies. I feel like when it's on a screen and audible, it messes up your head more. In books, not quite so bad. You can filter it easier. That's my opinion, anyways. I just absolutely fell in love with that book. (: I really enjoyed it.
I'm on to re-reading Martin The Warrior, now. I absolutely love the Redwall series. And, well, basically... I don't think Brian Jacques could write a crappy book. He was just too good. (I will never get over the fact that he's dead. It's devastating every time I remember it.)
And, tonight, I joined goodreads.com. I found out about so many books I want to read next.... It's kind of ridiculous. Haha. But, I'll do my best not to go crazy.
