I'm reading For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway I hope you'll like it. Hemingway is one of my favourite authors! I started Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte.

I've only gotten through the first chapter so far but it's not bad. My mom keeps telling me that I made a stupid choice but I don't really care. She says I'll get bored reading it. I'm not so far. ;D

I had a hard time with For Whom the Bell Tolls and I'm a huge Hemingway fan. But that was years ago so I'm not sure if I would have the same reaction today.

Well, I'm only 15 now. Should I be worried about if I'll have a hard time with it or not? It doesn't seem too bad so far. I've had to re-read some sections but not too much.

I've started Once Upon A Time in Beirut by Catherine Taylor. It's good so far. It's a memoir by an Australian journalist about the few years she spent living in Beirut with her husband.

I started Double Fault by Lionel Shriver. I picked it up because it's about tennis but I don't really like it...

Am reading The Eyre Affair by Jasper fforde and I really REALLY enjoy it! It's a good book to read while War & Peace is back at the library (I shouldn't forget to rent it again some time, I need to finish that book )

I read it when I was 22 and I didn't have hard time with it, but it's my father's favorite Hemingway and I was probably influenced by his high opinion of it. I've started The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster.

Okay, good. As long as I can handle it. Though, if a 15 year old can't handle it, then it shouldn't be on my summer reading list. And my dad was the one who recommended it to me. I'm glad he did.
