And a little grammar review. Books are supposed to be italicized or underlined. Short stories, poems, songs, ect are supposed to be in quotes


*bitchy schoolteacher/military general mode*
And where is the verb in the first "sentence"? You could have used a colon to connect the two ideas (or attempted gramatically-correct sentences), but no! And you're missing the period after "etc" and at the end of the sentence! You're reprimanding someone for using incorrect grammar on a very informal thread, yet you forget the period at the end of your sentence.

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf is an excellent read. The novel takes course over one day. It employs the stream of consciousness technique. Symbols in the book such as flowers represent not only characters' relationships with themselves but also with each other, nature, and society as a whole. The novel also comments on post-war England and snobbery within the classes. Woolf's concept of a "room of one's own" is also seen with Clarissa Dalloway. The book is so intricate and fascinating. Every word is chock full of meaning.

I have to say F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is the best book I've ever read. Jay Gatsby, himself one of the greatest literary warnings to be depicted, almost embodies the hope that one can regain the past and that one's truest ambitions can be realized. Unfortunatly, Fitzgerald also grasps the corruption and shortcomings of human nature, as well as the painstaking consequences of what happens when someone leads as blindly with their hart as Gatsby had.

I like the Love Comes Softly series by Janette Oke. I also like the series Beverly Lewis puts out about the Amish people {Abraham Daughter's} that series.

Right now I'm not reading anything except for my cookbooks and the Bible. Smile
