The end of summer is near. School officially started today. The semester if going to be a busy one. Right now, I am working hard to stay motivated to read. I have two more books to finish this month and then it is my birthday month. For my birthday, I am breaking all the rules and reading books that I want to read. (I am so so excited. There are some popular books. Books getting much buzz! etc)But back to poetry, I finally dived into T. S. Elliot. I am pretty sure I read Prufrock in high school. The Wasteland, Prufrock, and Other Poems were all good reads, but here is the thing. I love novels. I can appreciate there is a time and place for poetry. There are great lessons in humanity in each of these stories. Poetry is just not my thing.
T.S. Elliot is very talent and has a great style. The Wasteland takes a certain type of reader and deliberation to truly appreciate. I for-one though will probably not be reading much poetry in the near future.
Poetry isn't really my thing either...and I don't do well with it on my own. I have to have people to talk it over with.
