Franny and Zooey

Posted on December 28, 2014 by ecn • 1 Comment

My review on first try: Franny: This was pretty much my thoughts: Holy cow, this is really good, like how does he write such great sentences, it isn’t like he overuses words or crafts really ornate phrases, but it’s perfect anyway, and i don’t even mind that paragraphs are so long that an entire page … Continue reading →

A Tale of Two Cities

Posted on May 1, 2014 by ecn • 1 Comment

The first time I read this was in ninth grade and most of it was covered while in class (I don’t believe we read a lot at home). I remember it being difficult and it taking a really long time, so long that we had to rush through reading Romeo & Juliet to end the school year. … Continue reading →

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 →

A Streetcar Named Desire

Posted on March 10, 2013 by ecn • Leave a comment

A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams (who was not from Tennessee, by the way). Another reread. And also again for teaching it in my American Literature class. I finished it awhile ago, but wanted to get through the discussion with my students before I posted. I don’t have a group of adults locally to … Continue reading →

Their Eyes Were Watching God

Posted on February 8, 2013 by ecn • 1 Comment

I was required to read Their Eyes Were Watching God my senior year of high school in AP Literature & Composition. That was my year. The year I realized I liked English class. Up until that point I knew I liked reading and such, but I’d never thought about doing anything in English (I was going to … Continue reading →

Sense and Sensibility

Well, I believe I started this book sometime in last October or early November. I’m not positive, but I only finished it a few days ago. I believe that in and of itself explains how I felt about this book. Quick synopsis: Elinor and Marianne Dashwood (great surname by the way) lose their father at … Continue reading →

The Great Gatsby

Posted on December 11, 2012 by ecn • Leave a comment

Even though technically I finished this reread before I began The Classics Club challenge, I wanted to include it because I really enjoyed my reread. I read The Great Gatsby for the first time a few years ago. It was the first book I read on the Kindle which I think was partially why I was unimpressed … Continue reading →

The Classics Club

Posted on December 10, 2012 by ecn • Leave a comment

So, I found this blog when I was looking for reviews for Beautiful Creatures (mostly to see if anyone else thought like I did about the book) and I now follow and love this blog even though I don’t live in Atlanta. Also on her site is something entitled The Classics Club which is where you challenge … Continue reading →
