Thoughts While Reading GONE WITH THE WIND {Part 1}
I’ve done it: I have finally started to read Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell! This tome has been calling to me from my TBR shelf for far too long, so I decided that there’s no better time to read it like the present. Due to its hefty size (my copy has 1037 pages!!) I thought […]

THE SCARLET LETTER by Nathaniel Hawthorne
“She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom.” Ah, The Scarlet Letter. This is one of those classics that I was somehow never assigned to read in high school, which is why I’m just getting around to reading it now. I had a vague idea of what this story was about prior to reading […]

MY ÁNTONIA by Willa Cather
“Whatever else was gone, Ántonia had not lost the fire of life.” My Ántonia by Willa Cather blindsided me with its brilliance. I had never heard of it or the mastermind behind it until it became assigned reading for my Cultural Diversity in American Literature class. Even reading a brief description of this novel before […]

SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE by Kurt Vonnegut
“All this happened, more or less.” Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five was always one of those books that I knew about but had never actually read. I knew that it was about World War II and vaguely had something to do with aliens, but other than that I was pretty much in the dark. During my winter […]
