Reading over the Break??

Well, my reading for over the break happened on the last few days... oops?:)
Anyways, here are my times for the week before the break: I picked up Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris again! 
It's amazing... haha these aren't the times... but these are:)

Wednesday, March 27: pages 109-120, 15 minutes
                                             120-134, 15 minutes
Thursday, March 28: pages 134-158, 30 minutes
Friday, March 29: pages 153-158, 5 minutes
                                        158-168, 10 minutes

not much of a gap here!! Haha only maybe like 9 days..? (oops)

Sunday, April 7: pages 168-196, 40 minutes
                                      196-216, 35 minutes

Total: Well this is cool, 150 minutes even (I promise I didn't plan this:)  yippee!


Anyways, what's really important, book response stuff:

      This book, wow.  At first, sorry I wasn't all that into it-- the guy, David Sedaris, spends a lot of time explaining different jobs and stuff he did, this book is like a written documentary but funnier and pretty cool once you get into it, which includes quite a few choices that a 15 year old, or anyone really, should be making.  But that's not the point-- but if you read that really long, run-on sentence in the middle there you'll realize why.  Or better yet read the book, because at page like 115, it really gets good.

Sedaris' word choice and how he describes all the stuff he did-- living in Paris, New York life, food, the movie theaters in Paris, America vs. Europe through others and his eyes, his family and what they're like, and his Walkman radio (just to name a few)-- are written in a way that sounds-- in your head(unless you read out loud which is cool)-- like a friend talking to you which is really cool.  Also, the way each chapter has its own mini-story in it while connecting to previous ones in references and the fact that its in the same book, well its really neat because you get all this information about him.

Writing in first person is fun to read because its like you're saying it and experiencing it after a while of just straight reading the book.  And, to my great excitement, on page 172, the book all made sense, even though there's more to it.  I even underlined the phrase... and I don't write in books often, or like at all really.

Anyways, Sedaris' book Me Talk Pretty One Day, is just absolutely amazing and I am excited to be 3/4 through it because it seems his life is getting more interesting while he does less and, I don't know, this book reminds me of The Elegance of the Hedgehog, which I read a while ago because of the complex meaning that seems to be there.  Hard to read at first but by about this mark you're laughing and yelling with the character(s) and its just really awesome.

So yep!!  Wow its late, 10:00, so night!
