Bro I'm a literature critic and I don't even finish half of what I read.

I feel like I've accomplished what I needed to earlier on...I read Handmaid's Tale, 1984, and Brave New World all in one week as a summer reading assignment. After reading my synposes, my english teacher said I had a dark mind. (Bitch, what the fuck was I supposed to write, given that source material?!)
But after that, the only thing I've read front-to-back are take-me-away-from-reality things, like Harry Potter and Tolkien's works.
...I've been meaning to get JK Rowling's new novel, but I keep forgetting about it.
ackblom12:
...she thought the paper based on 3 of the more dystopic popular science fiction novels was gonna be cheery?
Bluesummers:
Maybe it was my choice of reading material...we had to pick three books from a list of about a dozen, and after reading summaries of all of them, and eliminating all the crap by Hemingway and Steinbeck, those three seemed to pique my interest the most. Heh...maybe it is me. Figures.

Mhh, reading Steinbeck in the late afternoon sun in august after work, the only person waiting for the train at a run down station with overgrown plattforms simmering in the heat :)

Yeah, that's what I mean. They say a picture's worth a thousand words...but only those two would actually use A THOUSAND GODDAMN WORDS to paint that picture.
