My First and Last Ramble

As a reminder: I'm reading books. I leave it vague but, in general, the classics. Maybe not the most entertaining classics, but the types that you will hear mentioned over and over again in How to Read Literature Like a Professor. Accompanying each book I read will be a blog focusing on a certain aspect of the book, it will not be just it reviewing the difficulty of the read or reviewing it, that will be eventually tired out and even I wouldn't want to read it. Instead, this will keep it fresh and focused.

For example, I'm opening with Pride and Prejudice as my first book and instead of reviewing it I'm comparing it to the movie based on the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I'm a little bit out of my zone with my movie part, but I hope I can bring some interesting commentary between the two. One thing left unplanned for my project is how to attain that movie. I was planning on getting it from the library, and although there are five copies in Kalispell, the movie's not in the Miles City Library. I could probably get it from the $3 bargain bin at Walmart, but more than likely I'll just pirate it from online. Update: Yep, found it on this site so you can watch along with me, just watch out for viruses. https://www3.fmovies.to/film/pride-and-prejudice-and-zombies.x0z8/88lrpy

The only other thing I am left uncertain on is my reading choice is for my designated Modern Lit Week where I read a popular modern book that isn't part of any literary canon. I was planning on reading Dan Brown's Lost Symbol but that's only because we have the book and this amusing satire: \https://www.datalounge.com/thread/12773016-hilarious-parody-of-renowned-author-dan-brown-in-the-telegraph. So, if you have any suggestions comment them. I'm up for anything that week; sports, adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, whatever genre John Green is, and romance, as long as it's not on the erotic. For that week it will just be a basic review of the book with no attention given to any aspect of it or the blogging prose.
 
I suppose I have a little experience in the blog style in the past a way back. I used to play this pay-to-win game The Simpsons Tapped Out and I was addicted to it. Hence I partook in a blog with likewise addicts mainly for the discussions, reviews of certain purchases, and individual showcases.

It was an enjoyable time, but like all mobile games I got tired of it and deemed it a waste of my time. The blog's still going strong with daily posts on the six-and-a-half-year-old mobile game somehow. It was written basic enough with nothing too remarkable, however, it always had a  cheerfulness and passion in how it was written that made me read nearly every post. Plans are for my project to put as much emphasis on the writing aspect of it -- the blogging aspect of it -- as the reading aspect of my project. So I hope can create an entertaining, impassioned, blog posts that aren't too dry and are focused.
