This semester is pretty crazy for me as I am sure some of you have noticed I have not been posting as much because I have no time! My last semester is jam-packed and I’ve been reading a book a week alongside 200 pages of required reading for classes and writing up articles for my job at The Chrony.
Just to keep in touch,
Here is my current reading list (NOT including required reading for class)
“Beyond Gatsby: How Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Writers of the 1920’s shaped American Culture”
“The 42nd Parallel by John Dos Passos”
“Explaining Postmodernism by Stephen R.C. Hicks”
“Cinderella’s Big Score by Maria Raha”
and still reading
“Gotham Writers’ Workshop: Writing Fiction”
“Dracula by Bram Stoker” (a regular ‘re-read’ of mine)
“Frankenstein by Mary Shelley” (another regular ‘re-read’ of mine)
This is just a quick cap of what I am currently reading the real list is about 18 books.
I hope to have review posts finished within the next few weeks. The review posts will be on “Gotham Writers’ Workshop: Writing Fiction” and
“Hemingway’s Paris: A User’s Guide by John Baxter”
I read “Hemingway’s Paris” recently and found it to be extremely fascinating for its content and concise writing style.
Thank you to all my regular readers and followers for sticking with me!

I just finished reading a collection of poems/essays/stories published in Vanity Fair magazine from the 1910s to the 1930s. “Beyond Gatsby” sounds like a terrific follow-up.
Yes, I would definetly recommend it. I am half way done and the book does a fantastic job of analyzing various facets of popular culture at the time as well as recognizing the influence of WWI and the economy.
