A Good Read for the Indecisive Person

My name is Connie, and I’m from a small town that’s about forty miles south of Missoula. I am currently undecided on the major but I am interested in Elementary education. I don’t know really what to say of myself other than, I’m a very undecided-decisive person (if that makes sense to anyone, and I know it doesn’t).


But if someone really wants to get to know me they have to know that my reading habits are currently non-existent. I use to read more back in the beginning of high school because I had time to read, but as of right now I, unfortunately, have no time to read. However, when I do read, I read from just about any genre. But I can’t seem to say what a good read might be, or what book to recommend because well…I am a very harsh book critic. I don’t like most books because the books are usually too predictable for my liking. But I have to say that the classics are easily the best: such as Dickens, Jane Austen, and Hans Christian Anderson. But I know that the assignment is to recommend a book so I guess I’d say that if anyone has to read a book go with one of Jane Austen’s books just for the fact that she was an amazing author who shined in a field where being a female author was just about unheard in that era  as well as she set an incredible example for further generations to follow. Nonetheless, I normally don’t have such a strong opinion on what a good read is, so when asked by anyone to give an opinion on what my favorite book might be to recommend my usual response is “I have no idea.”

  1. I second Jonny's question. Your blog looks great, Connie. Maybe you can get some good suggestions on what to read from your classmates this week.

  2. Well, my favorite Austen book would have to be Persuasion, not because its the best of her books, but because it was the first of Jane Austen's books that I ever read.

  4. Persuasion is a good choice, although I will admit that I haven't read the whole book from cover to cover yet. My favorite Austen book is Pride and Prejudice. Maybe it's because I can relate to Mr. Darcy's personality (but definitely not his money or status). :)
