Thirty Days of Books: Surprises and Opinions
A Character That I Relate to Most
I feel like I can relate a lot to Elinor from Sense and Sensibility. I took one of those quiz things one time and it agreed.
A Book That Changed My Opinion About Something:
I can never think of a book to answer this one. I'm sure the book exists, but it just doesn't stand out! Anyway, I decided to be (a wee bit) snarky and go with this book. Because, even though I love horses, I don't usually find them fascinating or books about them fascinating... and this book changed that idea completely around!
The Most Surprising Plot Twist or Ending:
The one that comes to mind every time this question comes up is:
Just thinking about it makes me crazy still.
The 30 days are almost move! Check out other responses at Jenni's blog!
I need to reread Ender's Game to remember how it ended!
ReplyDeleteKelly: for sure!
DeleteI need to read Sense & Sensibility sometime. It and Emma are the only "main" Austen novels I have left. And, I loved the movie Seabiscuit. I wonder is I'd like the book? And, lol, on Ender's Game since Jenny said she saw the end coming a mile away. I did too once the last "simulation" started, but not until then. I think Jenny saw it even before that, though.
ReplyDeleteJenni: I read Ender when I was a teenager and wasn't jaded yet about things and just took everything for face value. It never even occurred to me what might be going on.
DeleteI joined you guys on this one. http://wp.me/pfzdw-2Pi. Elinor is a very relatable character. I feel the older I've gotten the more I relate to her instead of Marianne.
ReplyDeleteRachel: I never really did get Marinanne...
DeleteI took a "which Jane Austen character are you" quiz and got Fanny from Mamsfield park. Blech! No thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was surprisingly entertained by Seabiscuit too and I really wasn't expecting that.
Sorry, but I saw the ending of Ender's Game coming a mile away.
Jenny: See my comment above about Ender!
DeleteI really need to read Sense and Sensibility. Elinor sounds like a character I could relate to as well. Great answers!
ReplyDeleteI think Elinor is a good match for you. Ender's Game ending still baffles me as well.
