Lit

Today, I came across 5 novels to choose from for my English 4(Masterpieces of World Literature) paper. And these are: The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells, Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, and lastly, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Basically, I have to choose one and explain why could it be considered a masterpiece, its literary significance and such.

During the beginning of the semester, we were asked to say our take on what a masterpiece is. As for me, I consider a text a literary masterpiece once I connect to it, once I relate to it. It need not be written by William Shakespeare, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, J.K. Rowling, or any other successful people in the literature/writing field. As long as I'm with the piece, sitting in a corner and sulking into another world, I'd be good, that's already a masterpiece. But that's just me, and most of the class. Until the rules came. But... I still believe in me, anyway.

Someone from an online forum I frequently visit sent me the e-books of Hunger Games Trilogy, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, and The Kite Runner. I'm thinking of including these on my choices, but... I don't want to go around and bring my laptop all the time. So, cross out. But I'll read them very, very soon.

And one last thing! I wrote a manuscript for a website(Internet Serye) a week ago, and guess what, they approved it! I'll let you know when will it come out on their site: http://internetserye.com. I'm just too happy. I really want to be a writer, and that's a good start, right? Aggggh, adrenaline rush! Thank you, Internet Serye! I'll never forget this day. Plus, I've got my dream pen name!

Kuiper Sullivan, you're real now. Congratulations! :D
