August Book
I nearly finished a few books this month, but I just haven’t been pushing myself. After classes ended (I got As in both classes, by the way!), I needed to relax a little. Nevertheless, I did finish one very long book in its entirety.
The Twenty-Seventh City - Jonathan Franzen
Franzen wrote The Corrections, one of my favorite novels, and this was his first novel. It’s sprawling and messy and reminded me of Zadie Smith’s White Teeth for its emphasis on racial and political issues through characters. It wasn’t as awesome as The Corrections, but you can definitely see his style evolving. And it’s good in its own right. [3/5]
I am on the verge of finishing a couple books, but classes start tonight so I promise nothing!
