I probably forgot to mention that I LOVE to read. When I was a child that's all I would do. I would read everything I got my hand on. My mother loves to read also. I guess you could say she passed it down to me. I couldn't get enough of reading. I would get in trouble for staying up passed my bedtime.... reading. Lol. I even read Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe in the 6th grade! I'm was/am a introverted nerd. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I lost my passion for a lot of things including reading. I've never lost the urge to read and my passion is slowly resurfacing. I'm very excited about that. I'm always on the hunt for a good book. And I haven't been so lucky... until recently.
Last night, I came across the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge. Aha! It is exactly what I need. One of the main reasons I love Rory is because she loves books.She's super intelligent and she never makes anyone feel inferior to her(unlike Paris Geller). She has a vast knowledge that ranges from politics to pop culture. In a way she reminds me of myself.
So back to this reading list. I took the challenge on list challenges website and I scored 49 out of 339 books. I was very impressed by that.Lol. I read most of those before or during high school. That's saying a lot because at my high school; the required reading was usually the movie version. Smh.
Today, I spent the afternon in the library and it felt amazing. I went in to get two books and left with seven(some aren't on the list). I have five on hold. I'm not sure if I'm gonna start with Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen or Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. I'm very indecisive. So I might end up reading both at the same time. I gonna start tomorrow afternoon. Until then I'm reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison(it isn't on the list). "I live in two worlds,one is a world of books."-Rory Gilmore
