My Outside Reading Updatage (thats a word, right?)

Greeting viewers who own computers!
So, for my outside reading assignment, i decided to read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. And so far, I think its pretty.... informative. I mean, I'm a little behind, so I can't provide much of an opinion. It's not neccesarily the kind of book that automatically grabs my attention, but I've heard so many great things about it, that I had to read it. And I thought the movie was spectacular! But I think that it's easy enough to understand that I can keep reading it... well that and i kinda have to haha.

At this point, I think that the main literary element would be the motif of pride. Because it's brought up so much, and...well the book is freakin NAMED after it. And the point of view is just third person, and so far it hasn't switched anywhere else. And the imagery really isnt extraordinary, for example, when Mr. Darcy is first seen, he's just described as "drew the attention if the room by his fine, tall person, handsom features." Not very descriptive right?

But then again, I'm still only at the beggining, and it may change later on. But I highly doubt that. I think that Jane Austin decided to stay blunt with the story because she wanted to get the main point accross, instead of distracting you with metaphors and symbolism. And right now I think that the true message of the book is that while pride is valuebal, you don't want to let it get in the way of love.

But what would be nice, is if she would add some tone into the story. Because it's written in third person, and it's just plain informative. I know that informative is a theme, but it's not a very exciting one. The reason I actually bear with this book is because the plotline is so interesting. I just feel that it could of been wroten more in-depth.

Reading. Yeah, sometimes it can be really fun, and the book completely captivates you and you never want to put it down. Some of those books for me would be Twilight, Dracula, Identical, and The Vampire Diaries.

But, then there are times that you start the book, and the begining is completely boring. But I seem to always have faith in my books and read to the very end. But... most of the time they suck =( Or other times, I will like a book and talk about it for a few days. But then I think over it again and realize that I didn't like it as much as I thought.

Now, I' m not that picky when it comes to finding a reading place. I usually do it whenever I have free time in class, or if i feel like it at home. So when I'm at home, i usualy read on my bed, my computer chair, or on the second step down on the stairs on the far right side, with the light turned on low. Now if these places aren't available, I usually just go read on the couch or dining table. And if there was absolutely no place to read at all, i'd just postpone reading until i could... or wanted to.

I can read at prety much any environment I want. That is unless I'm with my friends and I keep getting distracted by something funny. And I always have my music playing in the background. But if one of my favorite songs comes on, I usually just jump around my room and start singing along... offkey I might add, haha. But then I'd sit right back down and start reading again.

So, thats how I read. Nothing too spectacular, but I realy dont care. I have fun with it (most of the time.) Happy Blogging! =D
