Blog post#1; Response To The Quote.

“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few are to be chewed and digested.” 
- Francis Bacon
I think that this quote is has a lot of truth to it. 
When I read this quote I immediately thought of myself, and how I sometimes can hardly hold on to a book if it doesn't interest me. Some books are alright, and I will be able to finish them but most likely within in a long period of time. The books I really like I can barely put down, and are usually the books I can't stop reading. 
Crank by Ellen Hopkins is a book that I couldn't stop reading. I really got into it. It was a book that I was to be "chewed and digested" because it was so appealing to me, and I could relate to it a lot. I could relate with the main character the most, because she would put on a mask to please certain people, but then she would be herself around people who she didn't need to please.  I think that's why I really couldn't stop reading it because it was relateable. To conclude I can relate with this quote because some books I can really relate to and some I sort of can, and others I can't.

    Have you read IMPULSE and TRICKS by the same author? If CRANK really grabbed your interest, you should find other books that are similar.

    Sometimes I search a book I have really liked on amazon.com because the website will give me a list of other books that are similar (under the customers have also bought list). It often helps me find other books that are similar in theme or character.
