Last Post! I’m glad that I’ve passed the class but a little sad to not engage in it again. I found this course on a reddit post, and decided, “What the hay, I’ll enroll”. I expected to read lots of books, but I didn’t expect to enjoy them as much as I did. “Enjoy” is […]

This term has gone by so fast for me but it has easily been my favourite one out of 3 years at UBC. This course certainly added to the experience. I loved the super flexible structure that it had with being able to choose your own adventure through so many interesting books. The once a […]

It feels like this term has passed in the blink of an eye!! Even before I realize, it is almost the end of the semester… It feels like not long ago I was writing my introduction blog, and so soon it is already my final post!! Alright…I cannot say I did a really good job […]

I know everyone else is saying this, but I can’t believe this term is actually ending. I enjoy reading a lot, I love it, but in recent years I’ve exclusively kept it to either fanfiction or Chinese/Korean novels, which are vastly different from the novels that we read for class. So, it was a bit […]

I feel like a total unc saying this, but wow, time flies by SO fast and even faster every year. Feels like our first lecture was a month ago, but I can’t believe the semester is already ending. Honestly, at first it felt lowkey overwhelming, and I was worried that I had a bunch of […]

It actually feels kind of unreal that this is the last post because I swear I was just complaining about having to read a book a week and now I’m lowkey sad it’s over. Like why did this class trick me into becoming someone who enjoys reading consistently. I didn’t expect that at all. What […]

Patterns. I made a list to see if I could notice some patterns in the themes that caught my attention the most from each book. Overall, as the title suggests, I think in most of the novels the main character(s) were misfits in some way, people who do not quite fit into the world around […]

It feels so weird to be done. This class helped me push up my yearly reading goal on Goodreads and now, I won’t have a constant recommendation on what to read anymore. No joke, this class made me think of joining a book club because reading the novels and discussing them in class was my […]

I think Love Me Tender is such an interestingly written piece that goes against the ideas of love, motherhood, and identity. The expectations placed on women are traditionally challenged by the choice of personal freedom over social approval, which, as a woman of this generation, I LOVE to see. I think one of the most […]

Going into this class, I’ll be honest, I was a little intimidated. When we started with Combray by Marcel Proust, I genuinely struggled. It was probably the most difficult thing I’ve had to read in a long time. The sentences felt endless, the pacing was slow, and I kept rereading the same parts trying to […]
