Despite a previous zeal for reading, in recent years I have read very few books for my personal enjoyment. There have been plenty of books I have read for school but the only ones I enjoyed were The Great Gatsby, and Pillars of the Earth. The Great Gatsby had a fascinating style of writing that helped stay interested in the otherwise mundane story, and the Pillars of the Earth did a very good job in weaving three different stories into one and connecting them all. Outside of required reading the two books I would recommend to a friend that I read for fun were Ready Player One, and The Da Vinci Code. Ready Player One is a really interesting novel set in a dystopia where the real world is very bleak and has little to offer so the people to a vast virtual reality world. The Da Vinci Code is a novel about a big conspiracy hidden in famous art pieces. In my opinion The Da Vinci Code was very poorly written but I thoroughly enjoyed following the mystery in it.
