Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare:
Oh, I love it. I guess I like stories with complicated romantic relationships. Animal Farm by George Orwell: Well, I read this before I even learned anything about communism, so I was really confused at first, but after learning it, I seem to be getting it. I like it too, especially it's an allegory. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck: Not sure if you call this a classic, but this book is short and easy, a little bit sad at the end, but I still like it. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: I actually dislike this book, maybe it's long and kinda fluffy? I have no problem with the plot but there are too many characters for me to identify especially I had to read it for school in such a short period of time. Night by Elie Wiesel: That is such a depressing story, especially I read it when I learned about the Holocaust in history class. That is a book I would recommend though, whether it's considered as classic or not. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare: I personally don't like archaic language and I think the story is okay, but I neither like nor dislike it. The Odyssey by Homer: I only read excerpts, but epic isn't my thing to read. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne: That book totally puts me to sleep. Hawthorne just elaborates too much, IMO. And I like things short and easy. Maybe it's that his writing style isn't my type. Not a bad book, but I don't like it. The Crucible by Arthur Miller: I love this book. It's a play, it's easy, awesome. The witch stuff kinda motivates me to read it. Huck Finn by Mark Twain: I have trouble understanding Jim. I LOATHED THIS BOOK. TOM SAWYER FTW! The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan: I liked certain stories in the book, but some are boring. Candide by Voltaire: I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. Enough said, I just love it. A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry: This book is simply awesome. It's easy to comprehend and Hansberry captures the personality of each character perfectly. It's short enough so it won't bore me. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald: It's an okay book for me, perhaps I would like it a lot more if I don't have to read it for school. I still think Gatsby is a coward. The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger: I freakin love Holden. Enough said. It is interesting enough for me to stay awake when I read it, even it's for school. |
