The Great Gatsby; English Literature
So right now, I am currently still trying to finish "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Its a classic novel written in around 1800s but I'm not sure. Anyway, I've bought the book in June and I still haven't finished it yet. Not because I don't like it but because I don't really understand the old words and also the fonts are really small. Probably 7pt or something.
The cover is far from interesting, I know. But believe me, the plots are amazing. And the way Scott wrote the plot are perfect. And there are a lot of amazing quotes in it! For someone who likes reading quotes like me and highlighting quotes from novels, then I'm sure you'll love this book! There are quotes like:

My Favorite Books' Quotes
You know I have this weird obsession about books and the beautiful words in it. And since I have no other activity to do... I thought it'd be great to share some of my favorites quotes from books!
So yeah, here we go
1. "My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellation" -The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
Well, its hard for me to write only one amazing quote from John Green's books when in fact, John has plenty of amazing quotes in his books. But then, I think this one is my favorite. I think the quote somehow reflects how my brain works. I have this amazing wonderful ideas inside my head BUT I don't know how to put them into words, into sentences. I am a shitty writer but I want to be an author. That's the problem but well......:S

John Green!
I am in love with John Green!!!!!
He's literally one of the best author ever, really. His books amaze me. the way he wrote the story-lines, all the plots and the way he described things and people and everything and don't get me started with his amazing quotes that I found in his books! his books make me feel happy, giddy, frustrated, depressed, sad and everything at the same time, and it was amazing.
These are my favorite books of John Green:
1. Looking for Alaska.
His very first book and yet, he managed to make it as a #1 New York Times bestseller book. It's a story about a boy named Miles or Pudge whose life used to be so dull and is captivated by last words. Ask him anyone's last words, and he'll answer it correctly! then, he went to a boarding school to search for a "Great Perhaps" and there, he met Alaska, a girl with a complicated life. In the end of the story, Alaska died, and no one knows whether she did it purposely or not. What I like about this book is that, it taught me that we need to leave the past behind us, that there's a reason behind every action, that the smallest thing we did can impact other's life, that nothing can last forever, not even the earth itself, that we are greater than the sum of our parts, that we are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be and that we need never to be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken.
