Long time coming

Okay, so I've been kind of lazy when it comes to posting my book reading skills. I know I'm not going to meet my goal of 50 books by the end of the year, but we'll see how many I can do and how many pages I can read. Here's my update:


Book 20: Animal Farm by George Orwell
Weird book. He writes very similar in all his books. I couldn't remember if I had read this or not, but when I was reading it, much of it seemed familiar. But it is kind of weird with the talking animals and then the fact that the pigs think of themselves higher than everyone else. When you think about it, it seems that the author is calling humanity "pigs".


Book 21: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
I despise Jane Austen, but the way that Grahame-Smith rewrote the book to include a newer way of thinking and the zombie aspect, it made it rather tolerable. It is still in the Jane Austen style of writing, but it is a long and rather interesting read.


Book 22: The Bar Code Rebellion by Suzanne Weyn
Written for a younger audience, to me it seemed like a younger take on 1984. It has a pretty good story line and it keeps on moving along. I don't want to say too much, but basically it is about a conspiracy that threatens freedom.


Book 23: Night World #3 by L.J.Smith
The third installment in the series. It continues on the same path that the other books did with the fact that they all have the same type of story line, but each story follows a different character. I want to read the conclusion as soon as it comes out. I have an idea of how it is going to end, but once I start a series, I usually see it through to the end and these books are like getting 3 books in one.
