"Oscar Wao"

July 1st…
I cannot emphasize ENOUGH how excited I am to begin talking about our first piece: “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.” First off let me say I bought this book on a pure whim, and I completely fell in love with it. To start things off I want to mention the title. Upon first reading the title, it foreshadowed at least one aspect of the book (O’s untimely death), but while reading the actual novel, I kind of forgot all about what was supposed to happen. It was as though I stopped expecting it. Did this happen to anyone else, and if so, why do you think it happened? I could only attribute it to the richness of the characters. I became so enveloped in O’s life, that it became the furthest thing from my mind what was actually going to happen to him at some point in the novel. Just my thoughts! As always, the floor is OPEN! Questions, comments, criticisms, or otherwise can be shared!

Happy reading,
