I never answered many questions about literature in my academic bowl exploits, probably because my book knowledge is lacking in one major way -- the classics. The most definitive of books I've read are Watership Down, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Treasure Island, all three of which you can see on my list of favorite books to the right. I've heard so many good things, of course, about these books, and yet I've stuck to reading new books like Harry Potter. This summer and over the next year, I vow to change that.
On my list of must-read classics:
Wuthering Heights
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Crime and Punishment
Uncle Tom's Cabin
The Catcher in the Rye
Jane Eyre
The Great Gatsby
Of course, the following aren't exactly classics, or at least not yet, but I'm also determined to read...
The Poisenwood Bible
Something Borrowed
and The Help
I thought the background and name were professional. Even though the name of the blog was based off a nickname, it wasn't totally unprofessional. The font is easy to read and the writing style is good as well. I really liked this blog!
