3 and 4 - The Apprentice, and Brave New World


The Apprentice, by Tess Gerritsen, was on sale at Rite-Aid, so I bought it.  It was a typical crime scene investigation, but the crime connected with the person leading the case.  It was okay.  6/10.

Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, on the otherhand, was a great, great read. Contrasting to 1984, it was a world where instead of being deprived of everything, everything was given out.  No one felt pain, or stress, and a simple drug cured all other problems.  Excellent, excellent read. It also reminded me of this Copper comic: here.  I give it a 10/10, and if you haven't read it, please do so.

I'm not sure what I'm reading next, but I know I want to read Catch 22, Absalom, Absalom, reread The Scarlet Letter, and read a bunch of Hemingway; For Whom The Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms, and The Old Man and The Sea.
