Well, The Master and Margarita was exciting! It was about when the devil goes to Moscow and nobody believes in God or the Devil. And also, there is a writer that wrote a story about Pilate and Jesus, but was ruined by it. His lover, Margarita, is willing to do anything to get him back!
I haven't read the others yet, but they are all famous books! Classics! LOL, I haven't met a person who didn't know what Paradise Lost is about!

The Master and Margarita was published in the 1960s but written much earlier. It was published after the writer died.

Anne Rice is a really great author. I believe I've read one or two of her books, they were pretty great. Although, I finish those and since I was bored, I went and downloaded MORE books, so now I have the current series (only whats out) or House of Night (PC & Kirsten Cast) and also The Host (Stephenie Meyer) and also I'm working on the protector.

The title sounds good, but its witten in the 60's O.o Actually, The Master and Margarita was written in the 1930s I think, but since it's originally in Russian, I'm sure you can find a modernized translation. It is a really, really good novel. One of my favorites! The devil goes to Moscow... Oh! And I finished The Stranger by Camus. It was a fun and thought-provoking read. Well, it's fun and I like to think ^_^ Right now, I'm reading Crime and Punishment. It's AMAZING! It really, truly, absolutely deserves to be called a classic. So far, this has to be the best book ever, ever written!!! (Be sure to pick up a good translation). I want to try some of Oscar Wilde's stuff one day once I get enough money again ^_^ My sister got The Host for Christmas. I tried reading it, but I guess that just wasn't my sort of book ^_^ LOL, I couldn't make it past page 70. |
