I'm a fanatical reader as well. My absolute favorite work is easily Paradise Lost by Milton. His use of imagery is phenomenal, especially considering he was blind and dictated the ENTIRE book in real time, the book is exactly how he spoke it. Though, I must admit, I'm not a stranger to the Divine Comedy; somehow, the descriptions in that book are unbelievably tactile. Fantasy: Always been a fan of J.R.R Tolkein. The trilogy was great, but the silmarillion was incredible. When I was younger I couldnt get enough of redwall. Classics: Definitely enjoyed Hamlet, Tale of Two cities, David Copperfield, Wuthering Heights, King Leer, The Iliad and by Homer (well not really, but homer took the credit/ wasnt a huge fan of the odyssey). Not a huge fan of auto/biographies. Short Writings: A rose for Emily (so disturbing), Killings (interesting story about revenge), Hills like White Elephants, Lions (its by Hemmingway, not sure if thats the title, but its about this hunter, its amazingly metaphorical, brilliant even.) Story of an hour (again, amazingly metaphorical) Other favorites: 1984 (possibly my second favorite novel of all.) Count of Monte Cristo 1,400 pages of pure genius. Excellent story, I wasnt bored at any point. If you havent read this one by Dumas, give it a chance. Its long but worth it. Duncan Delaney and the Cadillac of Doom- witty/hilarious Books I didnt like: War and Peace.Who reads this stuff? I had to complete it for an AP English class. Complete = skim. Worst god knows how many pages I ever suffered through. Tolstoy can go cram it up his wrinkled Russian butt. Nobody wants to hear about aging Russian politics, trust me. Nostromo Easily one of the WORST books Ive ever read. I was told it was an enthralling story full of action and adventure, only to find out that it was a political statement about government activities in Central America. Best sleeping pill I ever took. Jane Ayer Feminist mumbo jumbo (no offense, but thats its only point, and its not very good at it, so clich Forget if this was charlotte or Emily, but I loved Wuthering Heights and hated this. Forget the name, but its basically a knock off of 1984oh wait, A Handmaids Tale. Dont get/read it. I dont feel like Im doing my readings justice with this list, just the first things that came to mind as my favorites and least liked works.
