For english class. Ugh.


I hated that story. In fact, I've hated both works I've read by Steinbeck (the other was The Grapes of Wrath). He doesn't have a good track record with me.


Don't be afraid to see the truth, even if no one wants you to. Be yourself and not a fool. Don't ever be afraid to speak your mind and listen to criticism. Dissent is keeps our country progressive and willingness to challenge yourself is what keeps yourself ever evolving.

I'm currently reading Thunderbird Falls by C.E. Murphy, but as I'm nearing the end of it, it's not as good as the first book, Urban Shaman. It's very predictable. Hard to read when you know what's going to happen.

Meanwhile, I'm also reading A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett. Again. Because the man's brilliant.

Can't say I've really liked either of his books that I've read either. Of Mice and Men I hated, and although the Pearl was better, can't say I was too enthusiastic about it.

Not reading anything right now as I've just finished the Pearl(yay!) I will most likely start either Feed or Drowning Anna next.

I'm reading The Usual Rules right now. It's really sad but good.

For English, I'm reading MacBeth. >_< I doubt we'll finish it by the end of the school year though.

Macbeth? Is the most awesome classic on the planet. Even if you don't finish it by the end of the school year, finish it anyway, you won't regret it.


Do what you will; but I will hinder it if I may.

How is it the 'most awesome classic on the planet'? I don't think it even strictly comes under 'classic' per se, because it's a play....sure, it's a classic piece of theatrical writing but still...

I do quite like Macbeth- it certainly helps to see it performed at least once- but I wouldn't be quite so enthusiastic. :P

People try to tell me MacBeth is Shakespeare's most hardcore play. I beg to differ. It's totally Titus Andronicus.
