I would have never imagined that IT is more than 350 or so pages, if it weren't for these replies, I'm so shocked

I got some books, judge me (alien.top)
 

I went to our local annual book fair a few days ago, and I pretty much got all of the books that I will be reading till next year's fair. here's a list of what I got:

  1. The Divine Comedy - Dante
  2. Emma - Jane Austen
  3. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
  4. A brave new world
  5. a certain hunger
  6. Lapvona
  7. The Book Thief

I have a feeling I will like all of them, to be honest I'm only worried about Lapvona, because I've heard conflicted opinions on it. but hey, I'm willing to give it a chance.

it doesn't have to be your favorite book or anything. It can be any book that you find yourself thinking of with a sense of pride for having read it.

Personally, I am really proud of myself for not DNFing A Little Life and pushing forward. I read a very good chunk of that book with tears running down my face--mind you, I was reading it on my phone during lectures for the entirety of my first semester last year--and I was always on the verge of putting it down just because of the horrible content. Also, it was pretty long; too long, actually. So when I was done, I was simultaneously Heartbroken, broken (just like in general), and relieved. It was truly a feat.

An honorable mention is A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, because I swear to God I did not understand a single thing about it even 10 chapters in. Charles Dickens is too much.
