After reading the long list of possible books for this essay, I made check marks next to the ones I was interested in reading in hopes of finding the perfect book. However, when this method failed to "narrow" down my list in any sense of the word, I had to call in the troops. After prolonged discussions with several valuable sources (my mom, who gave me a short synopsis of each book and a rundown of their benefits and disadvantages; and my sister, who said "That one looks weird. Don't do it."), I finally had about five books on my short list. I still couldn't choose just one, so I chose two!
I am reading both Lolita and Tender Is the Night. After I finish reading them, I will choose which one I am more interested in writing a paper about. They are very different; Lolita would be more of a study into a sick man's mind; Tender Is the Night is both a snapshot in time and a study of human character -- and love.
So far, I haven't decided which book I like more -- but I am sure enjoying both!!
