The College Life

Numero uno: Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
     I liked this book it was a pleasant surprise. When I heard that it was going to be about English school children I kind of cringed at the idea of another dry boring school-assigned book, but I bought it anyways 'cause it's by a Japanese guy which is kinda unique for such a theme. It's a drama-type novel with a slight sci-fi infusion. You should read it if you have nothing else to do.

Numéro deux: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
     I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a nice challenge and a mental exercise. It's crazy how MZD was able to write this novel, and it's understandable why it took him 10 years. It's marketed as a horror novel, but it really isn't that horrific. More of a mix between that and a love story and it feels very realistic even though it's purely fiction. One of the greatest novels I have encountered thus far.

Not really a book, but still numero tre: Speak in a Week! Penton Overseas, Inc.
     I admit, I did learn very basic French, but I used almost none of what was in this book. I guess it was more for tourists who went to France without anyone as an interpretor. I couldn't really use any of this in a conversation. That's what I get for buying the colorful book with lots of pictures. I wanted conjugations and stuff but this book didn't have any of that, just focusing on remembering basic Freanch phrases and their English counterparts. Don't buy it unless you want "un verre d'eau".
