Book List

i just decided i'm going to keep a record of every book i read this year. and this seems like a sensible place to keep track of them. so, this is going to be a list of books i finish reading in 2009, because some i started in 2008, but it wouldn't seem fair not to count them.

1. Twilight by Stephenie Myerer -i'm not going to lie, i enjoyed reading it. but don't get me wrong. it is no where near my favorite books. i thought it would be a pain to read, but i'm glad i was wrong. although, i have no desire to continue on with the series. i did like the movie a lot though.
2. Paper Towns by John Green -apparently, i've fallen back into my teen-book routine. it seems as though he makes his main characters the same. a teenage, uncool, dorky boy who has some unusual connection with a cool, beautiful girl. eventhough, it was hard to put this book down. the character Margo was incredible inspiring, which i'm sure was his point. simple. easy. but it made a fairly lasting impression.
3. Prep. i don't remember who wrote it, and i'm too lazy to look. doesn't matter. it got so bad. although the beginning of the book sucks you into the main character, Lee's, boarding school life, it quickly becomes apparent that she is good for nothing except obsessing and whining. such a self-centered girl in a bad way. in an insecure way. and then the 4 year crush she has turns into some terrible guy taking advantage of her. it just made me angry. because she didn't even stand up for herself. i was only thankful for the one time she said something she actualy meant/wanted to. not worth the read, i would say. i'm sad i spent time reading the entire book.
4. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by mark haddon. very good. i loved it. and it was a really quick read.
