Like I said before, I love to read and have way too many favorite books. One of them is Inkheart, because of the descriptions and fantastic figurative language that seems effortless (and I absolutely love Dustfinger, one of the characters). It also is about books and storytelling, and how the words on the page can come to life if you try hard enough. That book has been made into a movie, and the actor who plays Mo (the main character) is so perfect for the role it's scary. I also love The Book Thief, which is about a German girl in the Holocaust and is narrated by none other than Death himself! It is rich in figurative language and makes odd comparisons seem commonplace and normal. It is, to this date, the only book that was so sad at the end, it made me cry not once, but TWICE! Those who know me know that that is a grand feat indeed. I highly recommend both.
As for a reading schedule, you can pretty much do whatever as I will be done with this book in a week regardless. I read really, really fast, so you can expect me to fulfill whatever reading goals you feel like making. Afterwards, it would be cool if we stayed as a book club and read something else together, but let's cross that bridge when we get to it, shall we?
Happy blogging everyone! Ray Bradbury is an awesome author and I hope this book is as good as the last I've read by him. Bye!
You need to let me borrow Book Thief.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll bring it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDustfinger is definitely one of the best characters I've ever read about!
