snow day

So I started reading the next chapter to The Devinvi Code by Dan Brown. This chapter was a lot less exciting than the first and it brought my hopes down. The first was so exciting and weird that it had me super excited and now I don’t really want to finish it. But I have read all of Dan Brown’s other books so I know it will get good but that could take a while and nobody has time to be bored so I think I will read something else. So now that I have just made that decision I need to find a book to read. I want to read a book that’s maybe 250-350 pages long. Not too long but long enough for a good story to develop. I want to find a book that has a super good plot and well developed characters. And I don’t want to be able to guess the ending either. I like when the book really surprises me and I’m just sitting there like “dang that’s intense….like camping.” Then I would stop reading then start watching my favorite show psych, because that is a lot better for many reasons. I need to see if there is a screenplay for that I could read because that would be super cool. I might go to the library and try to find a book because I feel like reading but only if it’s a good book. Something that I really like reading is the lyrics to really good rappers because if they are actually good unlike Kanye west, the way they put together sentences is pretty “fresh”. The only good rappers are like Eminem, watsky, kyle, Gambino, chance the rapper, Kendrick lamar, vince staples, earl sweatshirt and butch dawson. There are more but now isn’t the time and place for that discussion so don’t have to worry about that. So far in Romeo and Juliet I’m following the story pretty well but I have to reread a lot to be able to do this. If it were adopted and put into today’s words I feel like it would be a successful book but now kids don’t understand and because of that they don’t want to try and learn it. I wish I just watch the movie because even if I don’t understand what they are saying I can figure it out thought the actions so I don’t have to stop and reread all the time. That really kills your flow and is super annoying so it’s hard to read.

  1. I think I completly agree with you Spencer. I love to read but if the book doesn't have me hooked it can be difficult to continue reading rather than going off and doing something else. I also agree with you about Romeo and Juliet, seeing the movies has helped me understand so many more things because seeing and hearing are two different things you can depict something from. Rather than just text where you don't always understand the emotions or come up with your own version from your perspective.
