So the assignment for this post was to find a novel we found interesting that we would want to read and explain why it appealed to us. To my surprise I found not one, but three books I would think to read, so let me explain why.
1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
- The reason I chose this book was honestly due to the fact that I like the movie. If you didn't know, the basis of the novel follows the protagonist and his attorney on a drug-induced haze to Las Vegas. I've heard great reviews on this book and has imagery that'll suck you right in.
2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- I chose this book because I've read it twice, but never truly understood it due to the fact that I was too young and didn't have the literary analysis skills that I have now. Due to that, I've always avoided watching the movie.
3. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
- I typed "classic controversial american literature books" and this popped up. I read the description and was immediately interested for the reason that I thought, "Why, literally why?" (my exact thoughts) so now I have an urge to read it.
4. Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
- Lastly, I chose this book due to the fact that I loved the movie as a kid and I thought "Hey, why not?" I've been told it's kind of a trippy book and I have this crazy poster my dad gave to me once he thought I was old enough to have that used to be his.
