So, reading has been going pretty slow for me. I was working two jobs and studying for the GRE. I'm only working one job now, but the GRE studying continues. As I Lay Dying was really hard for me to get into. I really liked the idea of having a bunch of first person narrators and then allowing the story to develop without traditional background info etc. I guess it was just hard for me to follow because I didn't really know what was going on sometimes. I was totally captivated, however, by a few parts in the book. For example, when Addie died and 3-4 perspectives were given about the death. It was interesting to see how some of the characters reacted to the death when they were alone and to read their thoughts. Pretty cool stuff. So, the reading my progress a bit slower for me from here on out. I'm going to start East of Eden today. It's a pretty long book, so this might be my last or second to last book of the summer. It all depends on how my GRE studying goes.
