reading times!

Mark of Athena      17 pages, 13 minutes
                               20 pages, 18 minutes
Lord of the Flies    24 pages, 120 minutes (all that annotating! and I was confused...)

 So close to being finished with Mark of Athena! I am so excited! Well anyways, I read chapter one of Lord of the Flies and, personally, it's not my favorite book.  For me, at least, it's a slow read and I'm not a really violent, war- like, and so meaningful type of book person so, well there's that, but it's interesting so far.
I like how Golding describes the characters by how they look and act rather than just one or the other and I found the first chapter interesting, but, I dont know, it's just not my type of book.  I got most of the stuff Golding was talking about but I don't get the meanings of what everything refers to.  There's an island with pink rock everywhere and it's shaped like a boat, there's a boy who likes the play with his glasses when he's nervous or under negative pressure and there's a kind of built twelve and a half year old who has blonde hair and is named Ralph.  There's also Jack, or is he Merridew? I'm not sure, but for some reason, I feel he's evil.
Yep! Haha so I'll try to warm up to this book, I really will, and I think that once swimming is over, although I will be sad about it, I can really focus on it and maybe like it, who knows?
