3 weeks and 2 books
Posted by Vesi on June 6, 2009
One of my major projects for the summer is reading for fun. I brought 3 books with me plus I got a card at the local library. My first 2 books for the first 3 weeks of the summer are:
Virginia Woolf – “Mrs. Dalloway”
It was a little hard to read because that’s how Virginia Woolf is, but I liked the book. It is filled with so much detail and so many characters are mixed together that sometimes it was hard to follow, but I still enjoyed it 
The second book I bought before I left Cottey inspired by the presentation of one of the women in my Intro to Women’s Studies class.
Mary Pipher – “Reviving Ophelia: Saving the selves of adolescent girls”
An AMAZING book! Even though Mary Pipher talks about teenage girls in the 1990s I was surprised how much most of the topics were close to my own experience. She covers everything from devorce, to religion, to peer pressure, to self-harm, sex and drugs abuse. This book is definitely a must-read for every teenage girl and her parents, friends, relatives, etc. It is very sad how several years in girl’s life could change her forever.
