Last time, I went to the bookstore to buy books, bought Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events No. 2: The Reptile Room. If you noticed, two of them are classics and the other an awesome novel. Classics right now are taking my hours in reading.
The first classic novel I have read is Pride and Prejudice, surrendered because of these factors: English is too deep for me back then (I was in 3rd grade when I read it) and too complex in my taste. Later on, my interest in classics returned thanks to To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Even though I didn’t finish the book because it is a library book and I am very busy with other things, I have no choice but to return it. Aww. I wanna know what happened to Scout!
Later on, I read Catcher of the Rye by J.D. Salinger. The book is really great because it deals something about a student going home and all. Like To Kill a Mockingbird, I wasn’t able to finish it.
I became really more interested in classics thanks to George Orwell’s Animal Farm. A political novel with animals acting as humans, the novel is sort of a political satire that them, the setting of the novel is often compared in Stalinist Russia. Thus, my love for the author’s books began. Bought another of his novels, 1984, a book a about an alternate future where it is ruled by the Inner Party led by a face name Big Brother. All I can say about the novel is that, words can never explain the power and convincing factor of the book.
Right now, I am reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. I am now ¼ of the novel and I will not stop till I know how Huck proved Jim is innocent and Huck proving himself that he is alive.
