Reading.

We had to read "The Secret Sharer" by Conrad over the weekend for AP English.
Everyone said it was pretty bad, but I truly loved it.
Its about a sea captain, and his voyage....thats all I can tell you without giving much away.
But something has always interested me about books with boats, or ships, or oceans.
The Mysterious Island, Moby Dick, the Ryme of the Ancient Mariner....etc. Something about the sea.

It's just so mysterious and draws you in. once you're out there, there's no going back until you've done what you need to, or something prevents you...did that make sense? it's just you and the water.
Yet, there's also something really freaky about it...for the same reason.
