Seeing as how I've been taking science classes the past few semesters, I haven't read anything for class except the book(s) and notes.
I'm taking English this summer... don't know if I'll have to read for that...

We're always reading Orazio in latin literature and it's pretty funny...as far as italian literature is concerned, we're studying Goldoni, one of the most famous 1700 dramatist. It doesn't sound so bad anyway...

currently it's Call of the Wild. And that's the last book of the year! *throws confetti* anyway, it is an interesting book... I mean, it's about a dog's life in Alaska and the hardships he has to go through. How can you go wrong? that's a good adventure story...

Dude, you guys GET to read stuff by MZB??  LUCKY!
@PD: Ooooh. Jack London's "Call Of The Wild." Jack London PWNS. I enjoy most anything by him quite frankly.
Well, I'm in the midst of trying to finish Osama bin Laden's "Messages To The World." FASCINATING actually. Not the crazy fanatic that many people think he is. He makes some great, educated points; that if anyone did some MINOR research would realize that what he's saying is the disgusting truth. The man makes sense. Not sure that's why my History of Terrorism professor had in mind when he assigned this.  _________________ "So what? So plenty!"

Meldawen wrote: This week and next I'm reading Dubliners by James Joyce. Eh. It's a collection of short stories about people in Dublin in the early 1900s. I'm sure he's a brilliant writer, but the stories are all full of symbolism and hidden meanings and it's actually not very enjoyable reading. And another thing - "The only demand I make on my readers is that they spend their whole lives studying my works." I mean, WHAT? Yeah, as if! So after I read that he'd said that I didn't like him much.
James Joyce is weird I must admit. But Dubliners was sorta kinda almost (probably not. Just saying this for the sake of my English teacher) fun for me. My teacher made it hilarious. And my friend too. It's not that interesting though. Pretty much we made fun of it. That was the only fun part. Oh, and whole thing about how all the stories are supposed to run together or something like that. My essay for that was horrid!
We've read some interesting books this quarter. It's been a good break from sciency textbooks. So far, we've had Song of Roland and Dante's Inferno.
Song of Roland was kinda blah...but it comes up in other reading as references to something or another. Oh, and it takes a guy 20 pages to die in this one.
And then Dante Alighieri's Inferno was pretty interesting, but borin again. There were a lot of Christian analogies which made life so easy for me seeing as I'm not Christian and so I didn't understand them. Fun book! I still like how Dante invisions the inferno. It's so imaginative. It makes you wonder why he was so bored! _________________ ...

Beginning this week I'm studying Lord of the Flies. So we'll see how that goes. I get the feeling it's one of those books you either love or you hate, and from what I hear, I'll probably hate it. I mean, not to be pessimistic or anything _________________

We're going over First World War poems. They're a bit disturbing. Like the imagery is unbelievably strong.
