OK Mako. The only assigned reading I can recall from high school is Paradise Lost by John Milton. Tough read but great discussion.

Favorites:
Crime and Punishment
Their Eyes Were Watching God

Least Enjoyable:
The Awakening
Portrait of a Lady (and Turn of the Screw - god, I hate Henry James)
 
I read Tess of the D’Ubervilles twice because I changed high schools.

Hated it the first time and really enjoyed it the second time around.

Still probably my least favorite book ever. Well, that and The Scarlet Letter.

And can we say bad things about Maya Angelou yet?
 
my boy is writing some kind of presentation about the events leading up to the revolution. i am NOT a huge help.
 
There is an Indian family that moved into our neighborhood earlier this year and we see the grandparents walking pretty much every day.

We just learned yesterday that they were supposed to be here for a week long visit and then COVID hit and they’ve been living there for 7 months.
 
The Old Man and the Sea and The Most Dangerous Game were two of my favorites. Short and sweet. Fahrenheit 451 as well.
 
i did recently reread old man and the sea and i have to say i think a 24 hour arm wrestling contest is a bridge too far mr hemingway

Man, that sucks so bad for them. It must be crazy stressful.

Apparently the wife is pretty to close to the edge. I could absolutely not live with my wife’s family for 7 months under almost any circumstances and particularly these.
 
some good friends of ours had the same thing happen, their 75 yr old mother was visiting when everything was shut down; she didn't go back to San Diego for 6 months. they were grateful for the free babysitter, though.
 
I still like my family better overall, but I think I could MUCH more easily survive 7 months with my in laws than my parents/sister. Is that weird? They're just much more chill.
