Post number two!

I know the title was a teeny tiny bit unnecessary, but it made me feel good... Yeah okay not really, but anyways, some news, bragging, and books to share with you guys!
First off, I went to Universal's Islands of adventure yesterday, and went almost immediately back to the Harry Potter world thing that was just added recently. I felt like I was that 11 year old watching the first movie (Harry Potter and the Sorcerers/Philosophers Stone) again. But I wasn't, I'm 17. But we walked around, didn't get to try out the butterbeer or check out the wand selection thing at Olivanders (Though I did get a wand that the test I took TODAY told me I should get; the Holly 18" wand) but I did get the chance to go on the magical floaty chairs ride inside of Hogwarts.

But back to the main topic, books!
I finally got the book I've been waiting for from the library:  In The Shadow of Gotham by Stefanie Pintoff.
so what I'm going to do first is give you a rundown on how my book analyzations are going to work.

1. I'm going to read the summary of the book.
1. From that I'm going to post an analytical break down as to when and where the book takes place, what kind of book, and any awards it may have been given.
2. Then I'm going to start the book, reading chapter by chapter and posting HERE with:
1. What happens in the chapter
2. Which characters are involved
3. and when it takes place.

Hopefully I will be posting weekly, but with my schedule, that would be pushing it! I will probably add onto the list as I get pointers and such from the community and my teacher(s). And please feel free to comment with anything I could add to the list that would make it better in any way.

And this is the only post that will not have a quote in the beginning, I didn't want to waste one on this post!

Forever Free!

Hello there world! My name is Jeremy, Crazymanongames, Bulbasaur, and even Fluffy sometimes, but all the same I LOVE TO READ! I'm starting this blog because my class on FLVS requires it, but I think I am going to use this for a few years to come! Fair warning, I probably am going to be a bit of a different writer than most bloggers because I don't think that slipping in with the norm is the right way to go. And also, every post will have a quote about books or reading at the head of the train!

Anyways, right to the topic: reading. So the first thing I need in here for the grade is what my results were on the "What kind of reader are you?" quiz. My favorite topic is, as expected, fiction. I love stories that take you out of where you ARE and lead you your mind across the ocean, across the sky, even across the solar system! and to quote the results, "If it's not real, it's right up your alley!"

My secondary result was the drama category. Well... I'm not sure how to react about that, but I guess it fits. I do honestly like it when a book takes itself seriously, but not too seriously, you know? But I guess with my liking sci-fi and the mystery genres, you can have the best of both worlds. Fictional settings with real world facts and such added in.

Question dos: What was the last thing you read that you enjoyed? why?
Well, I actually just recently finished a book titled "The Leviathans of Jupiter" by Ben Bova. Basically, man is all over our galaxy with settlements, colonies, and research stations. One such station, Station Gold, is being visited by a team of very important people. These people are for ME to know and YOU to find out if you need a good book. Anyways, the team of people are in for the journey (and discovery) of the century with technology that you wouldn't imagine. Mr. Bova does an amazing job of painting the Jovian adventure clearly across the pages.

So dear reader(s maybe?), thank you for reading through my shabby mess of a first blog, and have a good day, night, afternoon, evening, dinner, breakfast, or whatever your doing!
