The Great Gatsby - July 2014

I started reading Animal Farm, I read a few chapters, and now its laying by my bedside accumulating dust. I should pick it up again sometime.

Faulkner. As I Lay Dying.

I'm almost finished An Essay Concerning Human Understanding by John Locke. Not really a literary classic, but a philosophical one. Very interesting ideas, although many of them to us would be considered common sense. It's interesting to see the evolution of ideas, however.

No and I'm so glad I haven't. Now university is over I can read what I want and only read the classics if I have a hankering after a particular one.

I started Jude the Obscure a couple days ago and I read the Communist Manifesto last year, just out of curiosity. Does that count? I read the Secret Garden and Journey to the Center of the Earth to my daughter.

I just went out recently and bought the entire Edgar Allen Poe collection, and have read it about 3 times since I've had it. The last classic before that was either Animal Farm or To Kill a Mockingbird. Great stuff.

I'm currently reading Dante's INFERNO and Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET.

Currently I am re-reading Jane Austen's Northanger Abby. I keep forgetting how easy her work is to read, and then I fall in love with it, and her writing, all over again. I'm a romantic at heart!

I'm re-reading it now. I find Northanger Abbey as the most entertaining Jane Austen novel. My favorite is Persuasion, though.

I have read Pride and Prejudice, Emma, The Scarlet Letter, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, as well as a few of Shakespeare's plays and I am currently reading the complete Sherlock Holmes collection. I love them all! I would love suggestions for what I should read afterwords.

This is what I've been planning to read next! I think I'll enjoy it. As I understand, it is somewhat gothic. I enjoy Jane Austen but her writing is often more lighthearted in tone than I normally tend to read.

I recently read Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. It was interesting and I'm glad I read it. But when I tried to watch the movie I couldn't actually sit down and watch it.

[BookWorm07]

I read 'The Three Musketeers' by Alexandre Dumas and 'Much ado about nothing' by Shakespeare. They turned out to be easier and far more interesting than I than I thought they would be. Planning on getting some more classics now.
