Books I read this quarter:
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Pet Sematary by Stephen King
Tomorrow There Will be Apricots by Jessica Soffer
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
This quarter, I met my goals of (1) finishing The Scarlet Letter, which took me FOREVER because it is such a hefty read, and (2) reading at least 5 books (close.. I read 5.5 because I’m halfway through Pet Sematary). Meeting my goals was something of a struggle this quarter because the combination of Scioly and other classes (cough aphuge cough) and social pressures and other sundry struggles literally drove me to my wit’s end, but I managed to pull through by forcing myself to sit down and read. It actually helped relieve my anxiety from my stress sometimes.
During 4th quarter, I want to (1) read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, which my mom recently read and thought I would like, and which is also a classic, and (2) read at least six books, more than I read this quarter. Also, Goodreads told me that I need to read at least 2 books a month to keep up with my 2016 reading challenge, so 6 books seems to be a good bottom-line estimate for March-April-May.
