Fahrenheit 451

     I have just gotten a new book called Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. I really enjoyed the movie when I saw it last year. I've seen it many times afterwards and believe it to be one of the best movies of infinite existence. From reading about it online, I also learned that the book (like most) is funnier, more sarcastic, more violent, and way better than the movie, though the film was still amazing. So I snatched a copy at Barnes & Noble to snuggle up in a blanket and feel the warm glow of the fireplace on my little toesies while I smoked the most elegant of pipes in the most elegant of manners. However, I have had to start reading another book titled Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury at the same time. I very much dislike reading multiple novels at once because I get confused and tend to mix up the plot and characters between the stories. So, I have not read a single word of Fight Club yet which means the only thing I have to blog about is the book we are reading for class.

     Fahrenheit 451 is a gold mine. It speaks miles of truth about society and the government in such a clever way.

First Blog Post of New Tri

     My favorite book that I read last trimester was John Dies at the End by Jason Pargin. I really enjoyed this amazing piece of literature because it had all the essential elements needed for a great story. It was exciting, sparking my curiosity from the beginning as I read the title. It had very convincing characters, such as David and John who were bored with their lives until they were introduced to a new street drug, Soy Sauce, that changed them forever. Overall, I loved it because it was hilarious for not only what ridiculous things that happened, but also the way the author described everything. His tone was very apathetic, just like David, and it really helped you get inside David's head to see the world from his point of view. I would rate this book a 5/5 stars and it has become my favorite book of all time. Also, there is a movie version that is also very funny, but I believe the book is infinitely better and would definitely recommend reading the book before watching the movie.
