Books I've read in (half) July, have you read any of these? ^^ The Metamorphosis by F.Kafka - here it is, the classic of the month, I'll straightly confess my ignorance: I did not know it was a short novel. But what to say about it, after the struggle Q has been, this book was a breeze! The POV, the descriptions, the reactions, the human nature. You know what? I think I've finally pinpointed what I like in books: when characters are belieavable as people, and not idealized (at this you could say "Wow, hey, you reinvented the wheel girl", oh, I know, but I have my own time to figure out things... After all, if you think about it thouhg, it is not so easy getting rid of Mary Sue and such!). The language of flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh - talking about Mary Sue and Gary Stu... The plot is quite enjoyable, allright, I read this book in a few days, it develops easily... but it felt like reading some kind of first draft of a creative writing exercise: dialogues were absolutely unbelievable
