I spent most of the break at home, reading and doing some schoolwork. I went to Barnes for a few hours alone to read Mockingjay, left about halfway through the book, and borrowed Libby’s Kindle to finish the rest of it yesterday. I also read Animal Farm for the first time even though I’ve had the book for years. I’m not too surprised it took me so long to get around reading it, except that it’s so short! I went through a phase, I think late my senior year of high school, when I decided I need to read a bunch of classics and important books so I bought a bunch of books that I still haven’t read. I always tell myself I will, but then an easier, more fun book always comes along that I get immersed into.
Books still on my reading list:
Catch 22; Slaughterhouse-five (read about half of it, but need to re-read it); Treasure Island; The Beautiful and Damned; Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea; Oliver Twist (I’ve read part of it, but don’t think I ever finished); The Secret Garden (another book I started, but don’t think I ever finished)…I’m sure I have more, but I can’t think of them right now. I also want to re-read Wuthering Heights and Uncle Tom’s Cabin (because I liked them) and Jane Eyre (because I don’t remember any of it). I don’t know if I’ll actually read Uncle Tom’s Cabin again because it was so sad and long.
So much reading to do!
