For the past 3 years, ive been falling in love with books. continuously. I just cant seem to get enough. My current read, supplied and recommended by my dear friend carolyn, is I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb. ive only read about 80 pages (out of like, 900) and im already loving the book. honestly--i cant say its because the book itself is fabulous (i havnt gotten far enough to tell really) but because it reminds me of college. god i miss learning -- in a class. is that sad? i miss going to class. i miss lectures and especially i miss homework (mostly the reading hw). i miss the professor making us analyze the fuck out of a book, asking questions like "why do you think he uses this imagery here?" or "what do you think she meant by blah blah blah?". I Know This Much Is True definitely is something I would have read in one of my literature classes, most likely personal narrative.
can i just say its hard to concentrate when jeff foxworthy is leadin off the second blue collar comedy tour on comedy central? this is my third time seeing it and i still laugh at everything.
anyway...I like when a book is real. id say that this book is real...its not stuffy, and it uses great language. its a smart book.
even though the book is good, it makes me really sad and rather sick to my stomach. quick plot so far: Dom and Tom are identical twin brothers---dom is sane, tom is schizo. tom gets himself into a lot of situations that involve hospitals (mental and otherwise) and dom is always there wishing things werent so shitty for his brother and wanting to do eveyrthing he can to fix the situation but at the same time wishing he didnt ever have to deal with the shit again. so really it reminds me a lot of my situation with my mom. especially in the part of the book where Tom chops his damn hand off and is deemed "a threat to self or others" so he gets taken to a prison..not the state hospital hes used to, but a prison. the poor guy was scared to death and dom couldnt stand watching it. its so sad.
btw im really not good with words. i thought reading was supposed to help your vocabulary? i still sound like a moron no matter how much i read. i thought maybe this was because i mostly read murder mysterious that contain mass quantities of erect penises and enlarged bosoms. but seriously i read a lot of books that dont involve that stuff and im still pretty ignorant when it comes to language. guess thats why i like readin so damn much. they are all so much smarter than me.
the end.
