So far this semester I’ve read quite a few books! I have not enjoyed them all. My favorite so far has been Things Fall Apart. I honestly don’t relate to it at all and I think that might be one of the reasons I like it. I just really enjoyed the writing style and I liked being immersed in a completely new and foreign culture. I just loved the book, the imagery and all the symbolism. MMM it was great. 10/10 do recommend.
So far I haven’t really deeply connected with any book. I’ve enjoyed almost every book. Almost. I liked Crime and punishment because it was interesting, VERY hard to read though, I related not because I wanted to or have killed someone but I really felt it when he slept all day and just felt sick, I related to that simply because I am unhealthy. Fences was good and I enjoyed Oedipus Rex because of the drama, like it’s super messed up and I live for that stuff. It was just messed up enough but some books have taken it too far and that book would be Kite Runner.
Kite Runner was very hard for me to read. I did not enjoy it, I really don’t like children being abused. I know that no one does but it’s just really hard for me to read. When you told us that there would be a rape scene I was no expecting it to involve a child. (Not your fault I’m not mad, I know this sounds mad but it isn’t). The book itself had many good lessons and it was written wonderfully but I just struggled. I like messed up books that make you think, and I know that this is a work of fiction and this book can’t hurt me but it has affected me.
