Assignment 2 - Luke Webster

I have a sad confession to make in that I don't read nearly as much as I used too. The amount of schoolwork and extracurricular activities have really bogged down my free time to the point where the majority of my reading is for an assignment. However, I tried to get as much free time in my day to read over the past year and I feel like while I didn't read a lot, I read a good selection.

-The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (I read this as part of a school assignment but as soon as we started I may or may not have "borrowed" a copy from my mother to read to the very end because the book had already hooked me by a chapter and a half.)

- Play it Loud: An Epic History of the Style, Sound, & Revolution of the Electric Guitar by Brad Tolinski, Alan Diperna, and Carlos Santana (While the title makes it sound like a middle school level book of diagrams and silly facts, this book was by far one the best and most intriguing  I read all year. The amount of insight that they took by looking into styles of music and how the electric guitar reshaped the world truly fascinated me. As a musician and guitarist myself, I really found the long intricate path of the guitar through music to be fascinating and I would recommend it to any musician or music enthusiast. )

-Dracula by Bram Stoker (This was yet another great book that I have read in the past year. I really saw how it had become a classic and it had me all the way from cover to cover .)
