A Side Note

As a random side note, I was sitting in a hotel room a few nights ago, arguing over the remote with my mom and flipping channels, when, what should come on? (drumroll please) Ghost World!! I busted out laughing, though we didn't watch it. Okay, good story i know

Contemplating College Lit

I don't know about anyone else, but I loved this class (no, I'm not just saying it for brownie points or other such silly things).

My favorite book was Persepolis; my least favorite was Catcher in the Rye and Caucasia hovers somewhere in the middle.

My favorite part of the class though was the discussions we would have in class. I really enjoyed hearing other people's opinions, whether or not I agreed with them. Actually, quite often a discussion would make me change my mind, or at least shape the way I thought about the topic.

My least favorite was, sadly, the blogging. For me at least, it became one more chore. I wish I could say differently because I had been looking forward to it. Maybe I'll still continue with my own blog though. If it's something I do on my own, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Final Caucasia Thoughts

I definitely had a love/hate relationship with this book. I liked the basic story, and I liked how the book dealt with issues that unfortunately tend to be shoved under the rug nowadays. I just had some problems with the way it was written. It was very slow; the narration had a tendency to either ramble about things I didn't care about or abandon topics that I actually wanted to know more about. Granted, the plot did begin to pick up after awhile and I really started getting into it (though that could have been because I was on a long car ride at that point and had nothing better to do).

So would I recommend this book? Maybe. It would depend upon the person and what they like to read. But I would warn them that they're in for a looooooonnnnnnnnggggg haul.
