Answer:I recently started reading a book called "The Mill on the Floss" written by George Eliot. I would have liked to have continued reading, but I couldn't help but abandon it. That's because I found the narration too dragged with little to the ground and where nothing really happened. I believe that this type of narration is not bad, but I know that it is not appropriate for my type of reading, since I prefer a narrative more agile and with events that are quickly established. I intend to try to read this book again in the future, when I am more mature, as I believe that maturity will bring me patience for this type of narrative. In addition, I was unable to identify with the characters, which further diminished my interest in the work.

After that, I started reading other stories. First I read a book called "Scythe" written by Neal Shusterman. This book deeply interested me mainly in the use of metaphors that the author uses to talk about life, death, the need to be alive, the advancement of science and technology and how life becomes a problem when death is prevented. O also created charismatic characters who carry with them many concepts that we can relate to our reality. In addition, the story has an overwhelming mystery and presents many historical figures.

I am currently reading Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", although the narration of this book is more legendary than the narrative used by "Scythe", I admire the way the author manages to make harsh criticisms of English society in the middle of 1812. The author uses irony as a constant literary resource that enriches his works and provides a very satisfying acidity in his books.

In addition, I like how the characters are well characterized and present arguments ahead of their time, which shows that the author's writing was a visionary and admirable writing.
