Heeeey haven't heard from you in a while! I've actually just surfaced from my intent efforts in the college process and lo and behold, you updated! Anyway, I think I'm prety much done with chapter 9. Do you think you'll be able to look it over next week?
As for the books and in no specific order... 1. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice 2. Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment 3. Nabokov's Lolita (one of the best books I've ever read) 4. Sophie Kinsella's Confessions of a Shopoholic series (I kid you not, and you'll fall in love with Luke Brandon. Best beach books EVER) 5. F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby 6. Sophocles' Oedipus Rex plays 7. Homer's Odyssey 8. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein 9. Dante's Divine Comedy (I've only read excerpts, but they're all brilliant, so I'm assuming the rest of the 'series' is as well) 10. And, on a more childish note, Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass
Heeeey you. Yes, I received your email and I should be able to have it back to you by sometime this weekend if not before. I'll try to make that my "yay, I did some work, time for a break" item while working on my paper for class. =)
Ohh! Lovely book suggestions! I've actually read 1,2,5,6, and 10 but it's been aaaagges. And I've read Frankenstein a million times. One of my faves for sure. I actually tried to watch the movie, the classic from 1930 something with that Boris guy and couldn't do because it's too far off from the book. Adam just laughed at me. I got through the first...oh, five minutes and stopped. Thank you for the list, darling. I do appreciate your opinions.
Love to ya and I'll try to get Ch 9 back to you asap. *hugs*
Yay! Okay, perfect. I actually don't need it back until like mid-next week, but as soon as possible's always fab. (My goal is to update by the end of the first full week of December.)
Oh, yay! I'm glad. BAAAH I LOVE FRANKENSTEIN! It's like physically impossible to not sympathize for the monster, especially when he's living in the hut... And yes, the movie's absolutely terrible, it's so far off the book, it might as well have a completely different title.
Don't extend my deadline, lol, that equals more procrastination which I don't want to do to you.
Like the procrastination I'm doing now.
Ahh, yes, Frankenstein is FABULOUS. I actually go back and forth a bit with my sympathy, though it does tend to go more towards the monster. There are sooo many themes in that story, it's amazingly awesome.
I think there was only one (of the many) movies that stayed true to the book, and it has Mary Shelly's name in the title I believe though I've never seen it. It bothers me that people think the monster is Frankenstein...
Lol okay then, but midnight on Friday. OR ELSE. (Don't even talk about procrastination... I had basically an entire week off for Thanksgiving and I was supposed to be super productive [write at least half of my college essays and figure shit out for Senior Spring Break], but clearly, I've done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Except finish chapter 9, actually...)
Yeah, until I read the book, I thought that Frankie was the monster. Pff.
Also, new footballer obsession. Which means I need new icons. Blargh.
Hey, that's accomplishing something! I, on the other hand, accomplished nothing other than catching up on some sleep and watching movies in my spare time from working. When you work on the other side of Black Friday, it's not so fun...
Haha let's recap my break.. Wednesday: all-day Grey's Anatomy marathon with Rita Thursday: sleeping and eating and Grey's Friday: BLACK FRIDAY (although yeah, I see where you're coming from. That sucks) Saturday: trying to write applications, but wasting time on YouTube instead and stalking Stevie G watching a BBCOne documentary on Steven Gerrard, and then my aunt's birthday party Sunday: more trying, more procrastination Today: even more trying, but less procrastination
He's the captain of Liverpool (coincidentally, my other Premiership team...) and has a pretty heavy Liverpoolian accent, which I find endearing. Lol.
Also, I've decided to nix college and higher education and just move to England to become a WAG (footballer's Wives And Girlfriends). I'd do the ridiculous shopping part really well.
Ooo, Liverpool. When I was in London a few years back I tried to find Liverpool stuff (shirt with the football team or art uni or ANYTHING) but I guess since I was in the wrong part of the country... Well, being from Liverpool gives him the okay in my book. =)
*laughs* For some reason, my dear, I don't doubt that you'd make a superb WAG.
Yeah, apparently Liverpool has a lot of quality museums. Who knew?
Ah, can't you just see it? Me strutting down the streets of London spending all of my boyfriend/husband's money while I look absolutely fabulous. The only difference between a WAG and an Upper East Side second/third wife is the perks of free football tickets. Yaay!
Aaah you must read Frankenstein. It's seriously a classic, and mustn't be overlooked. Shopoholic isn't exactly a necessity, but if you're ever in the mood for a beach book slash something really, really funny and a bit fluffy, it's definitely the book for you.
Yep, I had to read Catcher for summer reading before eighth grade. I wasn't too fond of it then because I'd read it while we were college tripping for my sister, but I think that if I took it out and read it again now, I'd be much more appreciative of it. I always think of his question every winter, though. "Where do the ducks go?"
