Now that school hasn’t really started yet and I’ve had a chance to catch some sleep, I’ve been reading literature. It’s nice. I’ve managed to read two books in last 6 months. Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy was next to my bed since late summer. I would read it when I was not dead tired, but tired enough not to be able to do any homework.
I liked the book, it has a very real book and if you take Ottawa Citizen seriously you would think that it was written in 2078. It examines the small town attitudes in the Victorian times and their brutal effects on people caught on the wrong side of banal.
Another book that I’ve read entirely over the holidays is The Life of Pi by Yan Martel. I liked this one too, it is an enjoyable and exciting read with an interesting message.
