I never expected to read Gone With the Wind. It was a classic and extremely long– but
that was about all I knew. My grandmother one day recommended that I read it, and so I
impulsively decided to. This book is extremely detailed, but not too much so. It treads the line
very close, but I feel the detail is what makes the book good.

I started reading Normal People by Sally Rooney because one of my friends
recommended it to me. I had no clue what to expect other. When I first started reading it I was
intrigued by how unique it was written. There are no quotation marks to mark dialogue, which
differs from most books I have read. Little differences like this kept me reading more and more.
