one flew over the cuckoos nest:
is on standby

bug:
slowly, but surely being read

the diary of Anne frank:
horribly behind schedule

to kill a mocking bird:
very rushed

i was half done a month ago..?

it's hard to keep track of the books I'm reading and where i am in them. it's especially hard when new books get added to your already messy book list. maybe i should have more to say about reading and books and all. but really, I've been all over the place reading a couple pages here, a chapter over there.... and maybe i should only be concentrated on like two books, but I'm not.

choosing one book...
I'm choosing bug because i read the play this week and i thought it was insane. just. really. screwed up intense and scary. i really loved it, the plot and, just really the whole story line is great and all. what i found that was pretty interesting though was how simple and so ordinarily straightforward the dialogue was for such a weird, intense play. it made a really normal environment and a really basic environment. it also struck me as interesting because it contradicted to what my drama teacher told me about writing plays. he forbid us from using words like there, here, something, maybe, thing and so on and so on. however, in this play, a good portion of the dialogue is practically devoted to such words.

  1. I completely agree with this post (even if there's nothing really to agree with). There are so many books. And they become harder and harder to find as they get older and so you have to buy them when they're new and read them all at once, so that the material will remain fresh and not go rotten. But you can't just choose one and you choose them all and this ruins them. It's actually quite interesting how you chose to write a reading blog post about how you can't read all of these books at once and therefore you can't read at all.

    It was funny.
