Books

I have realised that I am becoming slow and dim witted.
My writing skills have fallen to sub par levels, I can't begin to express the disappointment in myself. I worked so hard to get to where I was and now my apathy has led me astray yet again :\

I decided that enough is enough and that I needed to consistently stimulate my mind with culture and not by gaming.

Must get through 1 book a week.

Starting: Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

Also, please do recommend me some books to read.

  1. how impressive!

    i can only recommend wimpy books like jane eyre, little women, pride and prejudice...I tried reading madame bovary but it was much too depressing. I think you may already have read all of those i've listed though!

  3. Lol Jess, yeah I hate all the characters except for Basil, but even then, weren't they made to be hated? Their conversations are so superficial that it makes me angry D<

    Yiling I read Pride and Prejudice (twice because I am slightly stupid) for our first year 10 essay and I got a D for it hahaha. But yeah it was a good book. I haven't read any of the others you've mentioned, however, I did want to start on Little Women after I get through a few more o: is it any good? what is it about .-. Viv recommended it to me :D

  4. little women is good, it is about four sisters! i think you will like jo, she is strong minded and pro, and also the sequel has a boys' school. anyway, i think you should read it, it's quite easy to read.
