Im currently reading Beowulf in my English Lit class, and its funny how you can see that a priest finally wrote the story on paper with all of the religious references that did not believe in or know about in that time of the world

I think after I finish it Im going to read Grendel.
Farenheit 451 was an interesting to say the least....
