Year 5, everybody!
A Connecticut Yankee in king Arthur's Court
By Mark Twain
I have always meant to read this book, but never actually gotten around to it. I know, I know, I definitely should have read it years ago. I knew the story, but I actually haven't sat down and read the book. Everyone talks about Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, but this was by far my favorite of Mark Twain's books.
A man going back to the time of knights and castles, all the while the guy is thinking they are all so crazy. It has always been my father's favorite of Twain's as well. My dad has always loved Mark Twain and time travel, so it makes sense.
I would strongly recommend this book.
Anna Karenina
By Leo Tolstoy
This is another book that has been on my shelf forever. I have picked up my paperback copy at least ten times and then promptly put it back down. I ended up listening to the novel and I still couldn't get into the story. The book is over eight hundred pages and all the characters are so whiny and gossipy.
I should have just gone with my gut and moved onto other books I would have enjoyed more. The book is a classic so people will keep reading it, but I didn't care for it.
