Though it felt awkward reading a teen romance, it's been a long time since I recalled the emotions, feelings, and reactions of first love. The ability with which Meyer is able to capture those moments was like experiencing it all over again. Thank you, Mrs. Meyer.

Not sure when and how I came about this book, but it's not been read.

Difficult, even for Faulkner. But there is the usual reward for all the work -- a story that seems to filter the whole South through a particular, authentic single family. All the usual Faulkner notes are here -- racism, miscegenation, incest, pride, folly, decay -- but the narrative's circular, meandering path gives the story an entirely different effect than his other work. After reading Swann's Way, I came to feel that maybe Faulkner was exploring the range of modernism more fully than anyone else -- this book follows a style closer to Proust, while Sound and Fury and As I Lay Dying seem to follow a Joycean model more closely...

Awesome, almost too realistic for comfort though... I loved the descriptions of the Ministries in the book. Ministry of Peace deals with war, Ministry of Love deals with torture, Ministry of Plenty deals with slimming down food supplies, and Ministry of Truth deals with lies and erasing/changing the past. Doublethink, thought-police, Big Brother are common terms associated with this book.

A collection of short stories that are, you guessed it, written in Scottish, are hilarious, and brutal. There it is. But entertaining. Also adapted into quite a great film.
