Nerding Out
I love reading!! After spending four fairly lonely months in London last year, I decided to read through the classics. I read The Great Gatsby below the London eye and in St James Park, and finished Catcher in the Rye in Brighton during a weekend trip. When I came home I had to continue, and this summer I finished Wuthering Heights.. It took me a long time because I had a lot of partying to catch up! Speaking of parties, I love the way Fitzgerald writes. The Beautiful and Damned was probably my favorite out of the two I've read, although it's received mixed critiques. He has such a way of describing the rich, beautiful party lifestyle, and it hits me exactly where I'm at right now. Minus the rich part.
Having recently moved in with an English Lit major, there is no end to the books recommended to me! I'm currently reading The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway.
