Image result for the metamorphosis book

1.) The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka= 115 pages

Rating: ♥♥♥

I read this piece for my writer’s seminar , plus the extra notes at the end. I had never read Kafka before so I’m glad that I read this canon piece. It was a lot sadder then I thought it was  but I still think it is good to have under my belt.

2.) Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky =151/551 pages

Rating: ♥♥♥♥

FINALLY FINISHED THIS BOOK. IT WAS HELL.

3.) The Taste of Honey by Shelagh Delaney = 96 pages

Rating: ♥♥

I really didn’t like this play as much as I thought I would. I felt like it would be an interesting stage adaption, but the writing was difficult to get into. I feel like if I were to read this play again after some experience then I’d like it a lot more.

Total pages a day: 10 pages

Overall, I am not surprised with my progress. I am a very busy, sick child. Over the summer, I want to build my canon library to prepare for university, but I also want to be kinder to myself. I plan to read some lighter books over the summer to cleanse my self from the darkness of Crime and Punishment.
