A Thousand Splendid Suns

For my college literature class, I have to read a book called, A Thousand Splendid Suns. I started out okay, it was only a little pitiful. As the story went on, though, it just got more and more depressing. I haven't finished it yet, but I think I see where this is going. It is well written, and interesting to see how life is in Afghanistan. I don't care for the book, really, and I'll probably never read it again. I am glad to be able to say that I have read it once though. So, if you come across this book, you should read it, but be prepared for a depressing story. I'll update later with my thoughts after I have finished the book.

Gone With The Wind

I am currently reading Gone With The Wind. It's a really long story, but also pretty interesting. Scarlet (the main character) is a beautiful, selfish, and smart girl. She is very shallow and everything she does is to help herself. I can admire her determination as she goes through hard times, and I do like it when she succeeds. Some people may really hate her because of her attitude. This book is supposedly known as the greatest love story ever written. I do not see it as a love story really. I think it's more of a history story that focuses on one person. At times it can be a bit boring, but something will eventually happen to spice the story up. It didn't end the way I wanted it to, but it leaves a lot to imagination after the ending, which I kind of like.
