Books I Read Over the Last 6 Months

Since my 4th quarter and summer were a little different than the other kids in my class, I will list the new books I read in the past 6 months:

EBC:

-The Poinsonwood Bible--haunted my dreams.

-Native Son-I read this in about 3 days, it was so good.

-A Walk to Remember-really sad!

-About 10 Issues of the Economist and about 10 issues of really trashy gossip magazines (People, In Touch, etc.) These were delivered by helicopter along with fresh veggies. (The helicopter comes in to rescue someone. The helicopter would normally arrive to basecamp, so our friends back in the city sent us presents to make up a drop-off load)

-The Sun Also Rises (Junior Year Req. Reading)--I didn't really like this one

-The Great Gatsby (Junior Year Req. Reading)--LOVED IT

-Staying With Daisy-cute romance novel I picked up at this really neat secondhand bookstore in the city

Home:

-Secret Life of Bees (Reread)

-Lovely Bones (Reread)

-Time Traveler's Wife--I am about halfway through, really wonderful so far!

  1. Wow! "Haunted my dreams"--what a powerful comment. Isn't it interesting when you're in a place where there isn't a lot of choice how you pick up whatever is there and discover how much you like it. Thanks for the list.
