K's Book Review

Hey everyone, I am going to have to postpone K's Classics for another time because I have a lot of work to do and I am having trouble getting it done. I'm hoping I will get one done for next Friday but we will have to see. Right now I have to make the decision to either post K's Classics or a review on Monday and the review means more to me then this little side post right now. Thanks for understanding. Have a nice weekend! - K

Alright everyone, I am back again with Part Two to the ModernLibrary.com list of Top Ten Classic books. This time it is according to the readers, not the board. I did take a look at the books, mainly to make sure that they weren't exactly the same as the Board list, because that would just be stupid. Thankfully there is quite a difference so I have no problem using the list for this entry. Without further a due, here are your books! 1. Atlas Shrugged 2. The Fountain Head 3. Battlefield Earth 4. The Lord of the Rings !!! 5. To Kill a Mockingbird !!! 6. 1984 7. Anthem 8. We the Living 9. Mission Earth 10. Fear So I did better than the previous list by one, which is still pretty good for me. From now on I will be marking the books I have read with !!! just because writing a long description of the book seems like a waste of time.  My Classics is not to tell you which ones you should read, only to point out what different websites classify as 'Classic...

Hello everyone, hope you are having a good week (But that God it's over right?). I'm back again with another K's Classics, but this time I am going to be doing a sort of Two Part thing this week and next week. I found the list on ModernLibrary.com but it had two parts to it, one being the Board list and one being the Reader list. I will be doing both of them over two segments of this. For the first part we have: 1. Ulysses 2. The Great Gatsby !!! 3. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man 4. Lolita 5. Brave New World 6. Sound of the Fury 7. Catch- 22 8. Darkness at Noon 9. Sons and Lovers 10. The Grapes of Wrath  Okay, so I only got ONE but that is still better than last week, so I got that going for me. Next week I will be doing to second part to this website, and maybe if I am lucky I will do better. I haven't looked at the books yet, so I don't know a thing. Look forward to another review on Monday, and enjoy your weekend. - K

Hey everyone, finally back with another K's Classic. This time we will be looking at the Top Ten Books according to Listogre.com. I haven't looked at the books yet, so I have no idea how I am going to do, but we will just have to see how it goes! 1. Cat's Cradle 2. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance 3. Cosmos 4. One Hundred Years of Solitude 5. The Brothers Karamozov 6. 1984 7. The Alchemist 8. Meditations 9. Tibetan book of Living and Dying  10. Brave New World Holy crap, I didn't get a single one of those! What am I doing with my life? I haven't even heard of most of these books! But I guess that is the point of this whole thing.... Oh well, maybe I will do better next week (doubt it).  So I know this is a short one, because I can't say much about it since I did so horribly. I will go tend to my wounds now.  Enjoy your weekend and look forward to another review on Monday! - K

Hello everyone, running a little late today. So much work to get done it's not even funny. No seriously, don't laugh. Anyway, I am sneaking in some time between assignments to do this post, because it is Friday, and I am not going to miss a day for homework! I decided to see what Google, one of the biggest websites on the web would think of the Top Ten Classic books this time, and thankfully I think I have read some of them. I guess we will see now that we are getting started! 1. The Great Gatsby --> As I have said previously, yes I have read this book! 2. To Kill a Mockingbird --> Yes, I have also read this book, and I find it quite enjoyable. Even if I was forced to read it by my mean English teacher... 3. The Catcher in the Rye 4. Nineteen Eighty-Four 5. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 6. Pride and Prejudice  7. Moby Dick --> Once again, I mentioned that I had read this one in previous entries. 8. Wuthering Heights --> Yep, read this one as w...

Hey everyone, and happy Friday! I know! What am I thinking? Posting on a Friday? Has the world gone mad?  Nope, I'm starting something new. I read a lot, yes a lot, and I like to read some of the classics as well as the books for teens. Anyone who loves to read knows that sticking with one genre forever can get repetitive. And some times it is nice to see where books came from and what inspired some of the great writers of today. But of course, I couldn't have read them all, and some of them I don't care to read. But many websites will tell you different 'Classic' books based on what the readers are thinking. Some say Dracula, while others aim towards plays like Hamlet. So I decided to check out some websites and see what they say is the Top Ten Classic books, and then tell you which ones out of them I have read. At the end, I will tell you what I thought of the ones I read, and even rate myself on book reading skills, based on how many I myself have read.  So he...
