1. The shining
2. The teenage brain
3. Along came a spider
4. The elite forces wilderness survival guide
5. The Great Gatsby

These books say a great deal about me because it shows (not surprisingly) that I'm not an avid reader but when I do read I read a variety of texts. The shining is a complex book because of the supernatural occurrences within that the reader has to decide whether they are real, in Jack’s head, or both. The teenage brain and the Great Gatsby were both extremely mundane to me for the most part although each had interesting parts. I believe this is because they were both required for school which instantly takes away my interest and the joy I feel reading because of the forced variety. The survival guide is a very simple text but I found the information within useful for any outdoor activities I embark on. The next book I'm likely to pick up is most likely going to be a Stephen King novel because I enjoy his writing style.
