I Won a Book

by Forest on July 7, 2010

I’ve always been pretty lucky. 

One time I found a winning lottery ticket on the ground.  One time I won a dictionary at the state fair.  One time I married the prettiest girl I know.

A few months ago, I won a Starbucks gift card on some Twitter contest, but then the guy never sent it to me, so that was kind of unlucky.

But my luck returned last week, when I won this book  in a giveaway over at Dinks Finance!  Thanks to J. Money for hosting the giveaway.

I’ll let you all know what I think about the book after I’ve read it.  Currently, I’m slogging through Moby Dick and I’m enjoying it about 5 out of 10.  I usually enjoy classic books, but I’m about halfway through now and I can’t tell why it made it to classic status.

One of my friends read Moby Dick and said she thinks the genius of it is that it’s about a guy wh0 essentially goes crazy because he’s on a mission. Just like the reader who goes crazy on the mission to complete the book.

The opening line is totally brilliant – I think the book gets a huge boost just from that!
