I literally cannot believe I read 11 books for this class. I was never a big fan of literature classes back in high school and surprisingly this course turned out to be one of my favourite ones this semester. So many times throughout the semester I just wanted to break my contract because I just did not feel like reading a whole book but somehow I managed to make it to the end. It actually felt weird that I didn’t have to read a book for this blog lmao.

My favourite book in this class was definitely “The Shrouded Woman”. I loved the way it was written and it kept me hooked till the end. I liked reading about the concept of multiple deaths throughout a woman’s life and it was interesting being told a woman’s life story through her memories of interactions with other people in her life.

A book I hated was “Money to burn”. There was not a single thing I liked about this novel. I just could not get over the countless unnecessary disgusting comments about literally any woman that was in the book. I thought that the book was so long and it really did not need to be.

Like I said before, I’ve never been a big fan of literature. Honestly, after this class I think the issue wasn’t the books but the way the course was taught. I love the way this course is made because it allows all of us to share our own opinion about the books we’ve read. Professor Jon trusts us to do our job by reading the books and gives us the freedom to write about whatever we want. I don’t know about everyone else, but for me that made all the difference. Writing what I wanted to write, however stupid my blog may have been sometimes, was okay and with the weekly lectures I always learned something.

I love reading and I read all the time. Mostly fantasy, romance and fiction novels. This course made me want to explore more genres in books. Genres that I would normally avoid at all costs. I have a whole shelf of classics in my room that have not been touched since I bought them. This summer, I think I’ll get around to reading a few of them.

Question of the week:

What was your favourite drink paring from all the lecture videos?
