"a work of literary merit" is how well written a book is. For example, all the books that are in our list that have appeared on the AP exams. They are books that have been read by professional individuals that know exactly what makes a book incredible. Although, some of these books may be extremely difficult to read and understand, they are considered a "masterpiece". I am stuck in the middle when it comes to my book. I read a play by Henrik Ibsen, called A Doll's House, The Wild Duck, The Lady From The Sea. I really did enjoy reading A Doll's House. It is very empowering for women during that era which were supposed to be "house wives". I am not sure if we are supposed to spoil the book but when Nora decided to stop being "a doll" it made me kind of sad. Like I said, it is empowering but at the same time to just leave your children. I got teary eyed so in that way I do think it was amazing. However, The Wild Duck was so confusing to me. What I did love about this was how the duck represented Hedvig. I thought it was so meaningful and clever. Although it was a sad ending ,it was very beautiful. The Lady in The Sea was alright. I do think that all three were written very well but some parts did confuse me. Overall, great plays.

So welcome to my reading blog and this very corny first post. Well I'm not a reader. In fact I hate reading. My favorite book till this day is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, which shows how much I dislike to read. It may sound pretty ridiculous but, it's the book that I read over a million times just to better my English when I was younger. So yeah, I absolutely love that book. Other than that I've read two books without being obligated by a teacher, A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer and lets just say the other one is really inappropriate but consists of fifty shades. So as you can tell I'm not very big on reading but I do hope to change that. However, as much as I try to get away from romance and drama, I can't. So I don't think I'll be reading anything other than that on my own time. Anyway my goal for this blog is that I become more interested in reading and continue to post my thoughts because it's kind of fun. Also one last thing, if you haven't read Green Eggs and Ham, then you should!
