Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Start: 31.10.2024
Finish: dropped, too hard
I started this book because it somehow flashed through my mind. I read a few pages with some difficulties and then decided to drop to read its Russian translation instead. It’s hard for foreign readers since its language is somewhat outdated and mostly contains higher English words (those used by members of royal bood or other high rank people).
P.s. picked it up on 23.10.2025

20/100 Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Start: 15.04.2025
Finish: 27.04.2025
A pretty decent book if you don't overthink some of the concepts stated in this book. The language is relatively high yet could be understood by learners with enough vocabulary. It questions some of the moral and ethical considerations of life and death, and calls the reader to think deeply on such matters as humanism, happines and the pursuit of knowledge.
165 pages + 350 pages of different pretexts, influenced fanfics and etc.

21/100 A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking&Leonard Mlodinow
Start: 27.04.2025
Finish: 28.04.2025
A simplified version of the "A brief history of time", the book contains an accessible explanation of concepts such as black holes, curved space-time and wormholes. It's recommended to be sceptical about some ideas in this book that may contradict those explained in religious beliefs. Other than that, it gives pretty simple description to some of the interesting terms and events happening in our universe.

22/100 The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald
Start: 28.04.2025
Finish: 29.04.2025
A beautiful and yet sad story of one man’s lifetime dream. Reading this book with a long break after watching its movie feels amazing: I can literally visualize every scene from the book as if I was watching the movie. Both the writer and the producer nailed it!

23/100 The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
Start: 30.04.2025
Finish: 4.05.2025
After reading The Notebook, I became fond of Nicholas’ writing style and decided to read this book; let’s see what it has to offer!
So, despite being somewhat questionable in terms of moral values of the culture and society I grew up in in the beginning, the story does have a very sensible ending. The book is good and smooth.

25/100 Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Jones
Start: 4.06.2025
Finish: 8.06.2025
A fascinating story of enchantment, love and light comedy. Despite watching its motion picture twice so far, I daresay the book has revealed many twist that were not familiar to me. This book tells us of wonderful adventures of an “ex-young” girl called Sophie, who seeks her fortune.
