I just finished reading "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov. My book is so torn up.... Anyways, let me just get this out of the way, it's super creepy. But it's interesting because the protagonist of the novel IS the antagonist pretty much and you can't help but sympathize with him at times... and you rarely come across novels where the "bad" guy is narrating it. It is also quite funny at times. Nabokov is a brilliant writer especially since English is not his first language. It's like poetry written in prose. However sometimes, I think he got too flowery with the language and it became hard to follow. but his descriptive language is like art. And of course, a much lighter read, NYLON was perfect as usual even though I prefer the Japanese version so much better! Lana's interview was really interesting. Along with books I love reading interviews of fascinating people...
Now I am currently reading "Franny and Zooey" by Salinger. I loooved "The Catcher in the Rye" so this one will surely be added onto my favorites. I love weekends.... especially this one because it's fall break and we get a four day break! I intend to use this time wisely by reading, drinking tea, working..., blogging, and making art :)
Here are the books I recently received from my wonderful Grandparents for my 17th birthday last month :) Happy Sunday and happy reading everyone! P.S. TODAY IS SYLVIA PLATH'S BIRTHDAY OMG.
