So I finished reading Alice in wonderland today. I enjoyed reading it and it was short so that's always good. Its funny how many adaptations their are of that story. I've only seen the Disney version before; as well as an audio tape from "through the looking glass"... said the white rabbit.
I'm also reading Blood of the fold by Terry Goodkind. Now that book is not nearly as innocent. Rape, murder, torture, etc. The sword of truth series is probably going to take me years to finish, being that each book is about 900+ pages long, but they are action packed and I can't wait to see what happened to Richard and Kahlan next.
On top of that I'm reading The making of a Story by Alice LaPlante. It's a guide to creative writing as well being packed with really interesting short stories. The story "Where are you going, where have you been?" by Joyce Carol Oates probably disturbed me more than even the worst parts of the sword of truth series. Their was so much tension in the story that I had my mouth wide open and I was a little bit shaky.
I've been walking through the school library and their is tons of other stuff I want to read about but I'm afraid that I'll end up not finishing anything.
