Update on Lock and Key

Ok guys so I kind of lost interest in Lock and Key. It just was not doing it for me. Does that ever happen to you? You think a books pretty good but then you just don't pick it up again and you lose complete interest. Well anyways, that's what happened to me with this book. It wasn't bad it just wasn't for me. I would still recommend reading it if it's up you alley and it seems interesting to you.

I have taken a turn and am starting a new book that I am sure most of you have heard of, The Great Gatsby. I gained interest when I watched the movie over this SUPER long 10 day weekend that magically appeared into our arms. Wasn't that something.  So, getting back to the book, I've recently started reading it and the author, Scott Fitzgerald writes in a bit of a different way. Since it is set around the 1920's they talk and describe things a little differently. So far it is different to anything I have yet to read.

I am not too far into it yet but will be reading more now that we are back on our routine schedules.  I liked the movie well enough, although I must admit, there was a lot of drugs and alcohol among other things. Have any of you seen, The Great Gatsby? Apparently there are two movie versions so I am going to watch the older one after I read the book and compare the two movies.  Happy reading everyone!

Fahrenheit 451

Why did this happen? My friends shouldn't have reacted with such furor. Guy needs to apologize for doing such a horrid thing in the first place.  Having books in the house? What a dumb decision.  I need to rid of these monsters that are tearing me and my friends apart.

As my legs carried me to the bathroom I got more and more worried about what was going on in my life. Guy was way out of line.  He knows it's against the rules to have books, and I saved us with that rash story.  The sleeping pills were much needed to get any rest tonight.  I shook the container and took four for the night.  I thought to Guy," Fool Montag, fool, fool, oh God you silly fool.  How could you do this?" The connection got ripped apart mid sentence though. How rude of him. To just ignore me like that.  I walked to the bedroom to settle my thoughts and get some rest.

I must burn all the books in the house, that way I'll be safe and nothing bad will happen to me. I won't get in trouble with that Captain Beatty and I'll be able to live my life.  If they already know about Montag, so be it, my friends have been married many times before, I can just find a new man.  Should I hide the fact that I know about them? Or maybe..... Should I tell the government about Guy's books and his reading? 

As I drifted off those questions bugged at me.  Begging me for the decision of a lifetime.
