I grew up with an intense passion for reading. I always had a book with me- on the
playground at the airport at daycare at the mall, I was always reading. Over
the years I have found that my personal favorite books are The Catcher in the Rye
by J.D. Salinger and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love the
catcher in the Rye because Holden [the main character] has this irrevocable
teen angst about him that is incredibly entertaining to read, and his use of
sarcasm is HILARIOUS! And The Great Gatsby is just such a fun book to read!
When I read it the very first time I was absolutely engulfed in the idea of
“the American dream” and all of the drama and glamour associated with it
throughout the novel.
Because my two favorite books are considered to be
“classics”, and happen to be very popular in the world of literature I decided
that I wanted to do more research into what popular literature is, and how it
has changed over time- and thus- The Reading Nook was born!
I created The Reading Nook so I could have a place to share
the information found throughout my research process. I hope you all enjoy my
blog, and follow up for future posts!
Toodles!
