Reading for class

[No Gambling in Paradix]

Can you enjoy class reading? What's the best/worst book you've had to read?  

[Flarityxx18]

I honestly don't think I can enjoy reading for a class. Mostly because class reading is a lot of literature and boring stuff. Except I liked when we read Romeo and Juliet. I think it's because we had a lot of discussions about kind of deciphering it and it was really fun. And I guess I like some of the stories we're reading in Multicultural Literature, just because it's interesting to see racism and prejudice from the person being targeted's point of view. But other than that, the novels we've been reading are always so boring. It's like a chore for me to get through them...and I have to because I need four years of English...

I thought Moby d**k was actually pretty funny.

..but maybe that's just me.

I had Dutch, English, German and French at school. For Dutch, English and German we got to decide for ourselves what we wanted to read, but we did get reading assignments for French. I usually never took the time to read the books, except for l'étranger (the stranger), by Albert Camus, which I absolutely loved.

That sounds interesting. WHat was it about?  

[Wilder Wein MCMXCII]

It's about a French man, Meursault, who lives in French Algiers, who kills an Arab man. The novel can be divided in before and after the murder. The murder takes place near the end of the novel and before that it's mostly about Meursault's every day activities and how he views life. It's quite interesting to read.

Ahh, is the four years thing one of those stupid "prerequisites for graduation" type things?

Yep. It's so stupid...the two classes I actually need (since they're semester classes and I need a full year) are jokes, but I need to pull through them so I can graduate. I've been so used to accelerated and AP classes that having two regular classes is just hammering me because they're meant for dipsticks that can't read or write, so they treat everyone like elementary school kids. Gah...[/rant]
