Well, I Decided...

     For my next book that I plan to read, I have decided to try out The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I know, I know, you're probably thinking :"WHY? Why read it now, when you'll have to read it again later on in school?" and in all honesty, the answer is very simple. I tend to not like books when they are read as a class and dissected to the point where it feels like the author themselves probably didn't even realize all the little things we as students have to pick out of the writing. Besides, I never ended up seeing the movie because I wanted to read the book first: now I'm just finlly getting around to actually reading it...

     Also, I have to admit I do have a bit of an ulterior motive for wanting to read Gatsby. At the end of my Best Sellers class 2nd Trimester, we all had to chose a book that we wanted to read "next" (as you well know, this isn't exactly "next" but hey at least I'm still going to read it!) and that after we finished reading it, we were supposed to go back to our teacher (I had Mr. Coates) and tell how we felt about the book.

     *AS A SIDE NOTE*
     Even if you don't read my previous post all the way through, please give me a book recommendation under that post (entitled Your Thoughts??) just a quick, "hey, read this because...yadayadayada" Let me know what you like, that maybe I will too:)
