^^^^ It's not a bad book, 'The Eyes of the Dragon', but it isnt' the best either like I said. It is better than 'The Old Man and the Sea', which we studied last year. I will say that I like some other Stephen King books though.

^ Who is the author of 'Empire?' Because I have a book named that and I'm wondering if they are one and the same because if they are I don't know how it would go into a humanities class.

We're still doing Canterbury Tales, and I'd like them okay if my friend Devon didn't keep doing way better on the quizzes than I did. (what's even more annoying is, he only skims them at the last minute...) In between that we're working on A Tale of Two Cities, which I kind of hate, and Beowulf, which fortunately isn't too bad.

Niall Ferguson wrote Empire, Doc.

I'm doing Canterbury Tales too. They're okay, I guess - I'm not liking them as much as Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which I did last week and the week before. I'm not going to pretend I wasn't a little put off by reading The Miller's Tale - liiiiiiittle too much information there, Chaucer. I get to do A Tale of Two Cities later this year.

Well for my AS Level, I had to write an essay on The Tempest, and I had to study The Great Gatsby (don't read it, its dreadful), book one of Paradise Lost and the play Look Back in Anger (also dreadful)

So far for A2 I'm studying some Tennyson poems and The Changeling.
I'm also writing a HUGE essay on Frankenstein and The Woman in Black

I ADORE Jane Eyre, its my fav classic novel and To Kill a Mockingbird is such an incredible book. How could you not love it?
I've never read 1984, but if you like books like that my English Lit teacher thinks The Hand Maid's Tale (I think there is a space) is quite good.
(1984 and the Hand Maid's Tale was the second option for coursework)

I'm finished Canterbury Tales (and never had to do the Summoner's Tale, hehe) and next week starting on some Sherlock Holmes, THANK GOODNESS. Canterbury Tales started to really grate on me, and though I suppose it's good literature, I can't honestly say I enjoyed it. The Nun's Priest's Tale just dragged

_________________

Lol. I enjoyed The Canterbury Tales...as far as I got into them. It all got drowned out by my other homework at the end, especially considering the fact that it was optional, not required.

Eh, I'm intentionally dragging The Count of Monte Cristo out for a long time, since that way I get more out of it (I have to journal about it, etc).

Also, I discovered that Lord of the Rings is on the supplementary reading list, so I'm going to try to get my current reading of it scholastically-approved. Then I get credit for having fun. w00t!

_________________

It maybe didn't help that I was basically reading it in Middle English with some of the more obscure words respelled, so it got a bit oblique. Or maybe I'm just not drawn to that type of literature

Lol, Melda. It was the same case. The copy I was reading was rather really far from being modern English. Still, it was okay.
