tumblr loves we’re doing a research paper in contemp lit and i am having trouble picking a theme/book! i’m interested in these:
- the plague (death)
- the sound and the fury (self/identity)
- catcher in the rye (self/identity)
- the five people you meet in heaven (not listed by stacey)
- 100 years of solitude (not listed by stacey)

i LOOOOVEEEEEEEE the plague… omgness i’ve never enjoyed a school book more. some pages are literally PACKED with phrases worth underlining and annotating i still can’t get over some super nostalgic scenes. i really really love this book so far :)

I thought Catcher was pretty meh and I’m hearing so many complaints about The Plague. I hear 100 Years of Solitude was good though!

By all means, do not read The Plague. The themes are pretty tough to grasp but maybe it’s just the ap lit ones that we’re given. hmm..Catch-22 was an amazing book!

NOT THE PLAGUE I’M READING THAT RIGHT NOW AND I WANT TO CRY. five people is overrated but i think it’s the kinda thing you’d like. catcher in the rye was all right—holden caulfield has a great narrative voice throughout. didn’t read the rest sorry!
