Too Long
It's been almost two months since I have posted. First, I am alive and well. Second, this blog is boring.

Book Review: Lolita
Apparently this novel is one of the greatest of all time. I hated it, yet, I could not put it down. I'm positive it was the vague and sick descriptions into the mind of a pedophile that kept me reading. It was bizarre and so sick. The interesting thing about the writing is Nabokov never used a crude or telling word describing the sexual interaction between the two. Surely, he's a talented writer. But when it comes to pedophilia, I have little tolerance. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ONE.

Happy Birthday to Jack Aaron Baker the Hunter
My best buddy, little brother, and best guy turned five today! I remember exactly where I was and the excitement I felt when he was born. I still get giddy and excited when I get to see his sweet face! I can't even remember life without him! Happy Birthday Jack Jack.

I Tried... Sort of
Since the first iPhone was released in 2007, I've wanted it. Want doesn't even accurately depict my desire for this product. It was a longing, yearning, and passionate hankering for this phone. When I got a MacBook in 2008, my love for Apple continued to grow and my love has yet to cease. However, I don't believe in settling. AT&T is a fine company, but Verizon is the best. I was going to stay with Verizon for four years until the iPhone finally came to me! When I heard the iPhone was to be released to Verizon customers on February 10, 2010, I decided I was going to wait until the iPhone five came out before I made the switch. For years, I was determined to be the first in line to buy the Verizon iPhone, but it looked as though I was choosing patience. Welp, that lasted a good 48 hours. I couldn't think about anything else once it was on the market. The next thing I knew, I was in the Apple store buying my iPhone! It was surely one of the most satisfying and exciting moments of my life! It is everything I wanted and more. IT'S A PHONE FROM APPLE! HELLO!! I'm in love. love. LOOOOVE!!

From Bad to Worse
Someone. Save me from myself!
No doubt, I have an addictive personality... IE) Gumballs, ice cream, pumpkin chocolate chip bread, diet coke, cherry coke zero, laffy taffys, ticket to ride, so on and so forth... (Mostly food... not surprising)
It's only getting worse. I will continue to google how to change addictive behaviors... Someone put me on intervention. PLEASE!

Book Review: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Another great novel by James Joyce. But I have some beef. First, Joyce is a genius. But, like in Ulysses, I found myself thinking, 'this is a waste of my time.' It wasn't the best story ever told and it wasn't the worst. Do I recommend it: no.

Book Review: The Great Gatsby
I'm pretty sure that this blog of mine is going to be a book review platform from now on. So let me get on with it! The Great Gatsby, lovely. A classic worth remembering and reading. However, as I read it this time around, I found myself really hating Gatsby. When I read the book in high school, I don't remember that so much. But Jay Gatsby, kind of a tool! Nick Carroway... You can be my boyfriend!

Book Review: Ulysses
What a writer. James Joyce is a genius. This book was so difficult to read, but I could not take my eyes off of the words. I would not recommend it just because I think there are better ways to spend your time when it comes to reading. Joyce has an incredible way with words and descriptions. The story was not my favorite, but I have nothing but respect.

Goals
Here's the deal. I decided last year that I was going to take on the challenge of reading the 100 greatest novels of all time by the time I am 30. I love to read and since getting a Kindle for Christmas, I am on a roll. The problem with reading the 100 greatest novels of all time is there is more than one list out there. I thought I had decided on one but I changed my mind after finding this list. This is the "Modern Library" list. I am sold on this one! Here goes nothing... Many many book reviews to come!
