Anyway. My day is pretty boring...okay, that's a lie. The past 2 days in general have been boring. I've been sick since Friday, but Saturday is when it really hit me. I've been holed up in my house since Saturday, watching Dawson's Creek and the Twilight movies (they were on tv, okay...at least I don't own them), eating weird food that my dad makes me (pigs in a blanket, less than 1/2 of an egg slathered in cheese...), and half-heartedly cleaning my room. I AM ABOUT TO GO INSANE. I need stimulation.
I am BORED. So I figured I'd write about the books I'm currently reading (there are quite a few...I have book ADD, I'm convinced) because I'm a book nerd and there is nothing else to do.
BOOKS I AM CURRENTLY READING:
* Water for Elephants - I started this today, actually. I bought it with the great idea to start a book club (Savannah is the only one interested it seems, and she can't find the book...) and read it slowly and ask lots of questions and really delve into it. Yeah. We'll see about that. I read 1 chapter, wrote down some thoughts, and stopped. I figure I'll wait for Savannah, or at least try to...
* Mistress Pat - This is the sequel to Pat of Silver Bush, a novel written by L.M.Montgomery of Avonlea fame. I LOVE L.M.M. She is a wonderful author. I'm stuck around page 60...it's just so long. The language is so flowery and prose-y that I get bored. I have to be in a certain mood to read this. It IS good, don't get me wrong. There's just not that much ACTION, you know.
* Gone with the Wind - This is my yearly re-read (although I'm not sure I read it last year...I started it but never finished)...I've been dragging on reading it, though. It's one of those books that I have to be in a mood to read, but once I start, I literally can't put it down. IT IS SO GOOD. Favorite book in the world, forever and ever. Yup.
* The Pillars of the Earth - I started this at the pool back during Memorial Day weekend. My friend brought a book with her, and I hate laying out with nothing to read so I started it. It intrigued me, so I found it on Amazon for like $3 and bought it. I'm less than 100 pages into it, but I'm hoping to get more interested soon.
* Eclipse - I was halfway finished with this book when I moved back home, and it's at Kelly's. So that means I'm probably finished reading it (but I've read it once before). Rebecca is letting me borrow Breaking Dawn, so I'll start that soon. I'm mostly re-reading them because I forgot how awful they are and I am reading Mark Reads Twilights so I needed to remember the suck-i-tude.
I also have a summer reading list of books I'm interested in reading and hope to get around to reading soon:
* The Giver- No, I've never read this book. DON'T YELL AT ME. I know I need to read it, and I will...someday.
* Catch-22- I don't know anything about this book, but I know it's on all of the Best Books of All Time lists, so I should read it, I suppose.
* The Poisonwood Bible
* The Hunger Games
* The Perks of Being a Wallflower
* The Handmaid's Tale
That's about all for now, but I'd appreciate any suggestions.
