I found my dad's old(er than me) kindle a few weeks ago and got pdfs of "top 200" (from The Economist's article, something about books you can read in your lifetime) books from places Got my sister a newer Kindle for her bday and honestly I prefer the older one with the buttons and stuff. Yay the old one's all for me now!! SPOILERS FOR THE BOOKS The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - amazing! Read this in sixth grade with milk quality (lightly skimmed) and didn't get the great quotes in my head. "wish I'd listened to what my mother told me" "why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen." As well as (loosely quoted) "the world's most greatest computer, to answer the Question, it will have organic life and something, it will be called the Earth" - gave me shivers omg I cannot phrase it from memory well enough to give it justice - the buildup throughout the chapters with the Answer, "42", the "what is the best computer then?" "what is the question?" "Earth" IT WAS GREAT (and then there's more quotes I cannot remember. I'll probably buy the physical version and reread it. I think there are more books? feel like the ending is open for more) A Wrinkle in Time - Favourite part was their description of tessering; there were visuals and it clicked instantly for my braincell yay. The whole love thing was kind of cheesy but wholesome at the same time? I'm confused how old meg and calvin are; also I don't understand the author's decision to have two main characters with names beginning with "c" because surely readers will confuse them and it's not a good idea to confuse the love interest with the little brother? qwq nice book though and there's apparently more and I will read that books I started but then I either decided to go read something else or we stopped to get food on the road trip and then it became dark and the old kindle does not emit light The Great Gatsby - I was mostly skimming while talking to my parents on the car but I don't understand it yet (my dad also told me I wouldn't understand with my little brain) I just see a rich guy talking about his neighbourhood and people around him? Will read deeper later (to prove my dad wrong) Lord of the Flies - Descriptive imagery and a kid goes naked the first few pages ;-; still @lnfect has a lot of projects about this book and I'd really like to be able to understand them but also my dad says this book will make me depressed but whatever! Hamlet (no fear shakespeare version) - skimmed through the no fear part a bit while talking to my sister (I need to stop reading when I'm supposed to be talking to people) and I'd like to read more but the formatting of the pdf I got makes it really hard to read (small text x small kindle) Animal Farm - I hear it's a great political commentary and I love those (even though I don't even know Canadian politics; when is the next election again-) but I haven't opened this one because my dad (bruh) says I will be depressed after reading it. Though he did tell me it uses a pig as an analogy for politicians. Then he said I wouldn't understand it so now I really want to read it to understand it. Dad just because you read these books in university doesn't mean they will: a) make a younger student depressed b) be impossible to understand for anyone younger These are just the books I've got onto the kindle ahaha maybe I'll yap about my reading list later
