Classics: Love them or hate them?

classics

Those of you who follow me here on Bookish Temptations since when I first started posting, already know that I have a soft spot for classic novels. In fact, some of the shelves on my library are dedicated to them.

Not all classics are the same, though, that’s for sure. It’s one thing when you read Jane Austen or the Bronte sisters, and quite another when you read, for example,  Joseph Conrad or James Joyce (ugh!! Definitely not one of my favorites). Some of the classic novels I’ve read were very, very hard to get into, some were easier, but all in all I’ve always believed that classics in general can give us a lot in terms of insight, and they provide a lot of food for thought to ponder upon.

Kindle vs Traditional Books

kindle_2237543b

It feels like a never-ending battle, doesn’t it? E-books against paper books-some people favor the former, some the latter, but I’m not here to start a war. Quite the opposite actually ;) In this post I’d like to talk about the things I like of both formats. Yes, because I love both. Peeps who follow me also on twitter know that I’m in love with my kindle, and whenever I can’t find it (yes, I’m a bit distracted) my heart almost stops. But I’ve always loved traditional books as well, because to me there’s nothing like the feel of a real book, the one you can touch with your hands – it’s as if you could really touch the story, if that makes any sense…

Both e-books and paper books have their advantages, and so I’m going to share with you what I like about both..

Tamie Reviews: True by Erin McCarthy

The synopsis: 

When Rory Macintosh’s roommates find out that their studious and shy friend has never been with a guy, they decide that, as an act of kindness they’ll help her lose her virginity by hiring confident, tattooed bad boy Tyler Mann to do the job…unbeknownst to Rory.

Tyler knows he’s not good enough for Rory. She’s smart, doctor smart, while he’s barely scraping by at his EMT program, hoping to pull his younger brothers out of the hell their druggy mother has left them in. But he can’t resist taking up her roommates on an opportunity to get to know her better. There’s something about her honesty that keeps him coming back when he knows he shouldn’t…

Torn between common sense and desire, the two find themselves caught up in a passionate relationship. But when Tyler’s broken family threatens to destroy his future, and hers, Rory will need to decide whether to cut her ties to his risky world or follow her heart, no matter what the cost…
