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.
I like I I like how you compared the book to the movie. This helps us as blog readers preview what the movie might look like.
ReplyDeleteHahah I like how you have a paragraph explaining another book, and then two sentences on the actual book you're blogging about! Your voice comes out really well, and it makes your post enjoyable to read. I agree with you that Fahrenheit 451 is a valuable and insightful book, even though it seems a little boring to me.
ReplyDeleteI try to only read one book at once also. I used to read 2 or 3 books at once when I was little and it's hard to keep track of everything.
ReplyDeleteI think that you will like the book more than the movie because the books are more descriptive and usually people like the book better.
