Sobre mimI'm a perpetual college student who loves sci-fi and fantasy.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaMy library is a random collection of books I like, textbooks, books that I once loved but have fallen out of favor, books lifted from my dad, and books given to me. Frankly, it doesn't accurately represent my current reading interests very well and I don't have the money to update my collection. I'll attempt to remedy this by adding books I'm reading from the library (which will also serve as a good reminder of which books are worth purchasing).

I also have several boxes' worth of books still stored at my mom's, which I'm in the process of bringing to my apartment and cataloging. Once I have all my books in one place, I'll start pruning away those books that hold little interest for me, although I may wait until I have the resources to buy new books before I actually remove the undesirables (empty bookshelves are sad!).

Hello Kat, I will be sending you the Einstein book in a couple of days. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do since this is my second copy, I seem to forget sometimes when I have one already.
P.S. I grew up outside of Indianapolis near Greenwood Indiana

They were a lot of fun.. only the first 4 have been turned into graphic novels. And I've been able to get all of them from the public library here in Austin.

Have you come across the BSC graphic novels?

publicado por ShannonMDE às 10:24 am (EST) em Feb 10, 2009

If you're going to read one of them, choose Pride and Prejudice.
Wuthering Heights was OK, but sort of depressing. Jane Eyre I had to read for school and hated, lots of wordy descriptions and also sorta depressing. Pride and Prejudice I also had to read for school but I loved it. It's sharp, funny, a great love story and possibly the first "feminist" novel.
Anna Karenina I abandoned, I think for much the same reasons as you say you're struggling -- it just didn't grab me. Lord of the Rings - I've never read. I read the first few pages of The Hobbit and thought this is not for me so I've never even bothered with Lord of the Rings.

I thought about noting the fact that it is challenging in my message. When I first tried to read it (in college), I quickly felt unable to read it and became despondent about it. Epic is a unique and difficult form, and its world seems, at least at first, entirely alien to us; and in details, of course, it is. The key is just to go through it and realize that it's hard for everybody the first time. It helps inestimably to have somebody explain a few things that will turn the lights on for you. Despite my initial horror at trying to read the Iliad the first time, I went on to get a M.A. in Classics, and I studied the Iliad more than any other single work in my academic career.

I hope you'll take up the [Iliad] soon. It's the first work of Western literature, and it is fundamental. It is still, by general consensus, one of the world's greatest books (some would say the greatest).

Hi Katherine -- I'm from Lafayette too! Saw your post about receiving your Early Reviewer book & noticed your location, so thought I'd say hello. :')
