We read lots of interesting books this year. Personally, my favorite book I read was The Odyssey by Homer. The writing style, and the plot as a whole, was very interesting. The many tales of Odysseus's adventures were all fun to read, and in contrast of what I expected going into it, there were really no slow or boring parts at all, the plot was very dynamic and always moving. I believe my least favorite book was The Merchant of Venice. Long monologues and many words I didn't understand were certainly interesting to analyze, but made the story hard to fully take in and enjoy. Also, I guess the plot just wasn't insanely interesting as a whole. It was a nice read though, and ELA as a whole was definitely fun this year.
