This my favortie song of all time.
The Dreaming Tree - Dave Matthews Band
Standing here
The old man said to me
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find
Now...
I wrote some poetry as well as other random blurbs and such. Here's a poem I wrote a while back that was inspired by all of my questions surrounding my faith.
#8
Please forgive me
As I sit here
What does it even matter
When those who speak first
Are those who silence last
Nor they try...
The Road is a pretty sad book. Native Son by Richard Wright was also a tough one to get through for me. It was a great book, but some parts made me cringe.
I'm only half way through the book now, and like others before me, I think the extensive vocabulary is a bit much. However, I do like the style of the book and am very intrigued as to where it is headed.
For some odd reaosn, I hate renting books from the library. I just hate the fact of having a time-table for reading. If I don't like the book, then I can put it away and maybe pick it up later and attempt to finish it.
I also like having a filled bookshelf.:D
It would guess that this quote goes hand in hand with music.
You've got to believe in what you're doing, but only will you ultimatley become a great writer when you gain that respect for other works.
Great quote.
This year, I've read:
1. Great Gatsby
2. The Things They've Carried
3. A Farewell to Arms
4. Slaughterhouse-5
5. Jailbird
6. Cat's Cradle
7. Remainder
8. Survivior
9. Choke
And I'm currently reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
I've never re-read a book before. I attempted to once, but got so bored. Reading a novel once is enough for me. Although, few books have made me think about it.
Hey there. I'm a senior high school student who has recently had a love for reading explode. I will be attending the University of Kansas in the fall and am looking so forward to that.
I also enjoy music and writing.
In time, I hope to find great authors, and meet some cool people.
