Catcher in the Rye (yes, that book)

Posted on April 29, 2013 by ecn • 7 Comments

I finished my reread of Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye quite awhile ago, but waited until I’d gotten through it with my American Lit classes before posting on it. Part of the discussion they engage in seems to help me take the books I read a little further that just my own reading of them.  If … Continue reading →

I feel like it took me all week to recover from the four performances of Evita we had at school. That and a slight bit of cold coming on, I promise that I’m still here. ::waves:: Hi. I have been reading. Three? Wow, three books on my Kindle, all Etopia YA authors. I feel very … Continue reading →

But I wanted to post something because I miss blogging. 😦 (and the heading picture is of my dog, Margie, who is at the moment with … Continue reading →

Book Review – Looking for Alaska

Posted on April 2, 2013 by ecn • 4 Comments

Two John Green books in less than a week. And probably my last YA book review for awhile (School play for the next two weekends). And if you read my review of Paper Towns, you’ll see that Looking for Alaska didn’t capture me in the same way. (Blurb from Goodreads) Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter’s whole existence … Continue reading →

Paper Towns by the rather engaging John Green

Posted on April 1, 2013 by ecn • Leave a comment

I don’t know why I waited to review this, but I felt like I had to read Looking for Alaska first. The biggest negative in the reviews of Paper Towns I read was that it was so much like Looking for Alaska. I see how the pranks that Margo came up with are in similar … Continue reading →
