Finishing good books

Whenever I finish a good book, I put it down, am silent for a while and think about the ending and how all the characters got there. And then it makes me want to cry because such a beautiful book has come to end. I just finished East of Eden, which was my first Steinbeck book, and supposed to be his best work. It was a difficult book to really get into, it was interesting all the way through, but there was nothing pulling at the story line. Reading good books makes me want to join a book club, so that I can discuss about symbolism and meaning behind books like this. It is also good to read "classics" especially now that I am out of school, because it forces me to think about what is going on underneath the obvious, and now I have to challenge myself to think critically.

Finishing the book today was wonderful, it helped make my night great. It was a quiet friday night, but I finished the novel, wrote some more on my novel, talked with a cute waiter, and then chatted with Ryan once I got back home. And I also got two pieces of mail, one was my train card, yay! I have been waiting on that for about 2 1/2 months, and also a halloween card from Bethany. The rest of the weekend should be pretty good, something with the catholics tomorrow, and then trying to get people together for frisbee on Sunday.

Oh! I went to my first Frisbee training here in Greifswald, and it was wonderful. There were about 20 people there, more girls than guys, and it was people who really wanted to be there. Of course by the end of the year, if we still have 10 of those people left, that is great, because then we will have more new people then. We are already talking about tournaments to go to, they have already made a yahoo group. I have always wanted to captain a team, and this just kinda fell into my lap.
