Update: Fall Reading

1.) Catcher In The Rye J.D Salinger

2.) Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
Lewis Carroll

3.) Through The Looking Glass And What Alice Found There Lewis Carroll

4.) Frankenstein Mary Shelley

CATCHER IN THE RYE
Was interesting and very meaningful. A very boyish book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. In the book, the narrator (and main character) Holden goes through getting kicked out of a boarding school and ends up leaving everything and not going home for sometime. I goes through him meeting and reacquainting with many people. He is lost, but has the most interesting views on life and where he would and wouldn't go. He has a creative humor throughout the whole book, and also a sincerity about him. I would recommend this to almost everyone.

ALICE'S ADVENTURE IN WONDERLAND
I was not hesitant to pick up this book. Alice In Wonderland is one of my favorite story lines and favorite movies, I just had to read the classic, and it was fantastic. As far as the writing goes, it was very creative, but also written like a mature storybook. Although confusing in numerous parts because of the wigged out ways of Wonderland, it was enjoyable. I loved reading it and Carroll's views on things through the characters. Even though the concept itself is not-so-serious, there were really good discreet points and lessons that were made. Absolutely wonderful. [cue pity laugh]
