I only read 3 books in February, putting me 2 books behind on my goal of reading 70 books this year. Hoping to catch up in March but with school and studying for the CSET I am not sure how viable that will be. Regardless, this month I read the last book in an amazing Sci-Fi series, a classic, and a popular novel that holds wide acclaim for its movie adaptation.
The Silver Linings Playbook was a quick but great read that delves into the convoluted and troubling lives of two people who have lost touch with reality because of trauma in their lives. It is hysterical and haunting as it presents some very serious and realistic aspects of mental illness.
Breakfast at Tiffany's, short as it was, could almost be described as a complex character study of Holly Golightly; her joie de vivre, her uncanny look at life, her ambiguity, and her loneliness. It was a great read.
Morning Star completed an amazing Sci-Fi trilogy with real cultural and current implications. It follows the life of a Red (or lesser human being) who tries to outstretch the social limitations that have been thrust on him and his people in a effort to "break the chains." This was one of those books that captivates and guts you. I will miss these characters.
