Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke 2 years ago

This book is a compliation of letters by the poet Rilke to a young man who is also poet named Franz Kappus. Rilke inspires Kappus through letter correspondence in which the themes of coming-of-age and society are discussed between the two. Overall Rilke helps Kappus find his passion in writing.

As I Lay Dying 2 years ago

Last year I took a college course about literature. The professor told us a lot about William Faulkner’s book As I Lay Dying. I read it last summer and I agreed with my professor it is a well written book. It is a book that deals with economic classism, family and death.



Shoeless Joe 2 years ago

Field of Dreams has been one of my faovitre movies. Just last year I decided to read Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella which was the inspiration for Field of Dreams which was directed by Phil Alden Robinson who loved the book and adapted the book for a screenplay. I read the book and I loved it Kinsella captures a lot of the longing for better parent/child relationships and how baseball is part of life and culture.



To Kill A Mockingbird 2 years ago

I first read this book when I was high school and I loved it right away. The movie was good too. I have read the book about 5 times and I find it inspiring sometimes.
