Summer Reading

Ok, I finally got to a computer in the North Cape Library (that's Bibliotek here). It's great to be able to publish your comments.

As I mentioned before, I have started reading books from the English Department's Summer Reading List. Have already made it through "Of Mice and Men." Anyone care to join me? It's a really easy read; the most descriptive passages are in the first chapter, and a little in the center. Not many characters to remember... so...here are some questions...

Why did Lenny change his mind about his future plans after the climax of the story?

And, what color were the pups in the barn?

Next, I moved on to "Things Fall Apart." Lots of description, lots of characters with names I had to remember, not a really easy read, but interesting, very, very interesting, and I learned from this book. Not a difficult read, either, but I did have to pay attention. Anyone care to join me? It's really good...here is my question...

In your opinion, who was right? Was there any way for this story to have resolved in a less tragic manner?

I'm now reading "The Poisonwood Bible." The first chapter is description, not a good start for me, but now that I'm in the middle, it means more to me. Anyone care to join me? It's really gooooddd...
