It was fascinating learning about Dante's history and seeing his Hell imagination come to life. <br />2) Candide, only because I had heard some negative comments about it. I actually plan on reading it again, because it was so comical and enjoyable. <br />3) The Unbearable Lightness of Being made me think the most. I really enjoyed learning the history behind the book. Each character ahead a different story and I enjoyed learning about each one individually.

It made me think about if people who we usually view as "having to be together" really do have to be together, which made me think of my parents and if they could exist separately from each other. It was a weird thought.

The fact that some people felt bogged down in it seems terrible to me since it was hard not to enjoy a chapter in this book<br /><br />2) The Unbearable lightness of being. I thought it would be unbearable to read, but I actually really liked it.<br /><br />3) Hundred years of solitude actually made me think the most. The magical realism themes have actually given me a new kind of perspective on life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851863476339939841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-84684339523632065772014-12-13T10:34:39.744-06:002014-12-13T10:34:39.744-06:001) Dante's Inferno, because it draws in some m...1) Dante's Inferno, because it draws in some many aspects of Dante's life and he explicitly puts people he does not like in hell.<br /><br />2) Oedipus, because I knew a summary of the play already and expected to be bored. It turned out I was completely wrong and I really enjoyed the play.<br /><br />3) The Unbearable Lightness of Being, because originally it really confused me but when we started to talk about it in class it was really interesting.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290417381925241091noreply@blogger.com
