NASM Personal Fitness Training--Actually, I'm still reading and re-reading this book throughout the year. It's more of a science study book. This is the highest certification you can get in this field, so it really is like taking a college course. I don't think I'll get re-certified any time soon, but I like to read the latest and rummage through this book. It's like my hobby(lame I know)...I'll open it if I get an ich or just bored. I just finished my favorite section this month though so I counted it as a read. Should you read this? ABSOLUTELY MY FRIENDS!!!!! Okay, maybe you'll get bored, but maybe not...
Frankenstein--I was intrigued but it wasn't extremely gripping. However, it had great points to argue...just ask Julie and Spencer. Although we all agreed it wasn't the best book ever, it was a great bookclub book. We really discussed it a ton and had great perspectives.
Count of Monte Cristo- I loved this book so much I finished in one and a half weeks. Then I found out I read the unabrigdged 700 page book. I was severely upset. I guess next year I'll have to find the unabridged to find out what happened exactly. If you haven't, read it. It's about revenge and God's blessing.
Moonstone--Loved this book. A great English mystery. I will admit the first hundred pages were hard for me to get into but then it flew by. This is a book that gets over looked. It is a classic and the plot is nice and thick. I think it was only 400 pages, so not too bad. Do I think you should read it? YES!
I think there was another, but I've completely forgotten, so it must have been a lame book.
Count of Monte Cristo SHOULD be abridged. The first hundred pages are just him crying in a jail cell. Nothing happens for a LONG LONG time... I love the story, but really, an abridged version does it just as much justice-- in fact, I think it makes it better.
ReplyDeleteCount of Monte Cristo was my favorite book from Mrs. Pedersen's class. I loved it. I might have read the abridged version as well, but if Mrs. Pedersen thought it was okay, it's okay. You have been a busy girl. Good job reading. Do you guys get a good break for Christmas? We've got about two weeks, but it seems like such a short time. Are you going home? Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteHey, I've been needing to find a book to read over the break. The Moonstone sounds really good. I'll get those addresses to you soon, and in the meantime, enjoy the holiday!! It was great to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteIf you did ever want to read the unabridged version, I think that's the version I have. I've never read it, but it's on my list. :)
