Atlas Shrugged: 1

So, for my first book i am reading Atlas Shrugged. Unfortunately i have not really gotten into it enough to explain the characters or plot, but i can tell u about the book a little bit. It was recommended to me by 2 people. Not only this, but it was #2 on the list of "Books That Changed Mt Life", #1 being the bible. So that was enough to get me to read it haha. I look forward to reading more of it and although it is over 1000 pages, i look forward to every one of them.

Until next time,

Call me Ishmael...well actually don't call me that I'm just implying I read Moby Dick this summer

This summer, i read a SLIGHTLY abridged version of Moby Dick, and by abridged, i mean that nothing was actually taken out, just that some of the old English words and phrases were made easier to understand in modern talk.  To keep it simple, i really enjoyed it.  At first i was a little skeptical: such an intimidating book with so much history behind it; i didn't really think it was for me.  But then i thought to myself, "What else am i actually going to want to read anyway?" so i figured i might as well give it a try.  I began reading it while waiting for a loop at the caddy yard and all the other caddies would joke with me about it.  However, i was captivated.  That night when i got home, i found myself still wanting more, so i read another 100 pages that night! I was amazed.  This experience rarely happens to me with reading.  I could really feel myself on the Pequod with Ishmael and Queequeg and Ahab.  There was so much more action then i could have anticipated for, and although there were some slow parts, i managed through them for i was seeking what would happen in the next chapter way too much.  I don't think it has really inspired me to read another classic, but who knows what could happen.  Overall a very captivating book with edge-of-your-seat action and only a few slow parts that are easy to get through.  Until next time,
