I can’t believe its my last post! I have throughly enjoyed this little community we’ve all created and reading everyone’s blogs. This course was so unique and probably one of my favourite courses I’ve taken! I’ve never done grade contracting before and was a bit hesitant when I contracted to read 11 books. But now […]
I can’t believe this was the last book of the class! Honestly, I didn’t enjoy reading it that much. I felt confused and disoriented. It wasn’t until the day after I finished it and watched the lecture video and read other people’s blog posts that I realized I actually did like it. This book is […]
I think this book is my favourite one I’ve read. I absolutely loved how unique the plot was and the language filled with beautiful description and intriguing characters. I love an “aha” moment when reading and this book did not fail me! While reading, I was curious about the title and how it would connect […]
This week’s reading of “Money to Burn” was certainly an interesting one. I can’t say I loved reading it. I personally would not classify this as a thriller, for the scariest part was how vulgar and gross the men were. It was not enjoyable to read because of their disgusting sex lives and their views […]
Despite this book’s uncomfortable age gap relationship, I really enjoyed reading it. The way Duras writes “The Lover” hooked me the entire time. Her descriptions of the environment, like Saigon, to each complex and rich character, I felt so immersed in this novel. My heart was in this one! I really loved the first sentence […]
I loved how unique this book felt. It was like a story within a story filled with such rich thoughts and complex characters. To me, it was more about the characters than the actual plot. The narrator is literally talking to us. explaining how the book will go. It is such an interesting start to […]
This week I read Deep Rivers. While I did enjoy this reading, all the vivid descriptions, and the bits of information about Peru, I had a lot of trouble paying attention and finishing it. This book felt very long to me and at times I was unsure of what was really going on. I think […]
This week I read Agostino and it definitely was something. The whole time I was kind of weirded out by Agostino, to be honest. I actually said out loud to myself at one point is this boy attracted to his mother?! Freud would have a field day. But I do understand that this is a […]
I really really enjoyed this reading. I think it’s my favourite so far. I loved how much information was packed into the 60 pages, and how much we learned about the shrouded woman, Ana Maria’s life. The more I read, the more I realized it wasn’t just about the life of Ana Maria but was […]
