Next Classic Book

Hi -

For my second classic book of the school year, I've decided to read Anna Karenina By Leo Tolstoy. I'm reading the newest translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky.

Currently I'm on page 123, and I really like it. It's really interesting, I like the characters, and I like the arrangement of the chapters.

Emma

Hey!

I just finished reading Emma! (As in I finished reading it a couple of minutes ago!)

It was a lot better than I thought it would be, and I actually REALLY liked it. The problem with reading it for school, is that I have to say what it reminds me of, and that's hard to do when you've seen the movie. (We're not allowed to use the movie as a reference.)

We have our "book talk" when everyone gives speeches on their books starting October 11, so I have a week (and a few days) to make a speech about Emma. We have certain elements that we have to include in our speech, including quotes from the book.

I'm now going to be reading Code Name Cassandra, By Meg Cabot (or Jenny Carroll, depending on where you are, and what copy of the book you're looking at.)

See ya!
