The Bell Jar

[MajorSunshine 350]

I’m still trying to get through  Far from the maddening crowd... I am reading old children’s book instead. 

[Indifferent Ignorance 352]

Didn't you start that ages ago?!

I can't claim the high ground, though, I started reading a Plato book back in November and still. Have not. Finished it.

[MajorSunshine 350]

Yep, think I read one or two chapters before I let it lay there and gather dust... I am considering just giving up and find something else that I might actually read. The library may want it back (who am I kidding? I’ve already renewed my loan twice, no one else want it, so they really don’t care)

[Indifferent Ignorance 352]

Hahaaaa you never know, someone might be waiting for it with baited breath!

[MajorSunshine 350]

Well, while considering if I’ll just give up, I’m rereading the Chemist by Stephenie Meyer. 

[Indifferent Ignorance 352]

I've never read anything of hers except the Twilight series, is it any good?

[MajorSunshine 350]

I like it a lot, both the chemist and the host, but off course, I love twilight as well. And it’s always a romance between two people who shouldn’t fit together, so you have to like that. And I might be getting to old to love youth books this much, but I guess I never grow out of that. 

[Indifferent Ignorance 352]

I think once you love a book, you probably have some level of love for it forever. I reread the Percy Jackson series last year and it was like getting a hug... I'm about 10 years older than the target age group but honestly who cares.

[MajorSunshine 350]

I think that’s true! Some books kind off feel like old friends. And when I’ve read them before I already know how they’ll make me feel, so I can handpick the feeling I want. It’s not like the first time, when everything is new and unexpected, but I don’t risk any big emotions when I’m not prepared. The last year have not been the year to put a lot off extra emotion on top. 

But I guess I’ve always been that weird person who rereads books as a norm, and not as an exception.

I mean i read slightly obsessively, and i got through three 500 page ish novels yesterday simply to kill time i should have been doing schoolwork in, but that might just be because my house always has had and always will have too many books in it. ( to  give you some knid of idea, ive got about 300 or 400 in my bedroom alone, and both of my siblings are the same)

im not a huge fan of actually sleeping so i spend a lot of time drawing/reading/writing in the dark

i think my favourite was rebecca by daphne du maurier ( i have read it before but its so creepy i love it)

[Indifferent Ignorance 352]

I started Rebecca a a while ago but couldn't get into it (it was me, not the book). My brother was named after one of the characters so I really feel I ought to haha

It's a long beginning, but once you're into it it's hard to put down, and the ending is brilliant.
