The Remains of the Day-Ishiguro
She’s my favorite character in the entire series.
grynch43@alien.topBtoBooks•What book are you most proud of having read, and Why?English1·2 years agoFunny that you mention A Tale of Two Cities. It seriously is the only novel I’ve ever read the actually gets better with each passing chapter, culminating in one of the greatest endings in all of literature.
grynch43@alien.topBtoBooks•What book are you most proud of having read, and Why?English1·2 years agoThe Sound and the Fury-I was totally confused after the Benjy section. I’m glad I pushed through because it became one of my favorite books by the time I was finished with it.
It’s my favorite novel of all time. So atmospheric you can practically taste the fog on the wild moors.
A Wrinkle in Time
Charlotte’s Web
grynch43@alien.topBtoBooks•What is your favorite book based on the nostalgia you have for it?English1·2 years agoA Wrinkle in Time-it was the first time I realized a book could actually take me places. I was totally transported to that kitchen on that dark and stormy night.
I need to finish the series . I read book 7 six years ago and still haven’t picked up book 8. Personally I felt the series peaked at book 2. The Great Hunt is one of my favorite novels ever and the other books just never lived up to it for me personally.
My favorite novel of all time. I’ve only read it once.
Into Thin Air-I never reread fiction unless it’s a short story.
grynch43@alien.topBtoBooks•It surprises me sometimes how people who live mostly stable lives react to traumatic booksEnglish1·2 years agoHonestly, I just like a good tragedy.
You do understand what the story is about, right?
grynch43@alien.topBtoBooks•To those reading multiple books, what book has been on your ‘currently reading’ list for a long time?English1·2 years agoVanity Fair-I’ve been reading only a chapter a day for a while now. I’m on page 655 out of 912.
The Canterbury Tales
I get all of that and I still think the movie is the more impressive work of art. An adaptation doesn’t have to be 100% true to the source material to be good. Basically I feel Kubrick is a better filmmaker than King is a writer.
The Shining-yeah I said it. Bring on the angry Constant Reader fanboys.
grynch43@alien.topBtoBooks•Greatest novels of all time that you'd consider "pageturners"English1·2 years agoHonestly, I thought the book peaked in the first 350 pages and would have been better had it ended after a certain major event in the novel.
grynch43@alien.topBtoBooks•Why does reading a book seem to require so much more energy than reading reddit?English1·2 years agoBecause Reddit is YA.
My favorite Hardy is The Return of the Native.
