Description


As it turns out life is complicated and messy and gritty and dirty. Call it simple or easy if you want, but you're lying to yourself to feel better. It's hard growing up in today's world, it's hard having friends who betray you or families that are hard to like. We all need those everlasting friends and those moments of clarity where we see our lives flash before us, and those times to be completely carefree. As we crash through the jungle of this life, we all steal a few hearts and break a few bones. But hey. That's life right?

Booklist

Here's a list of books that I've read lately:

The Man in the Iron Mask, by Alexander Dumas
Ender's Shadow, by Orson Scott Card
The Client, by John Grisham
The Runaway Jury, by John Grisham
Hart's Hope, by Orson Scott Card
The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by W. Shakespeare


NOW READING:

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain

NEXT ON THE LIST:

Of Mice and men, by John Steinbeck

I'll continue to redo this list every once in awhile. I recommend all of these books, as they're amazing pieces of literature. Each of them is great for a different reason, though. The Man in the Iron Mask is a classic. Both of the John Grisham books are intriguing and they keep you guessing. Ender's Shadow is completely mind-blowing (read Ender's Game first, though), Hart's Hope is by Orson Scott Card, who is an amazing storyteller of science fiction and fantasy, and Romeo and Juliet is a great story, that, if you're intellectual and well-read already, you'll definitely enjoy.
