Book 26 of 500!!

My dad found this next book on a shelf with books my mom has. He said I should read it because it was really short and I’d get through it quickly, he was right. The book is Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx. First off, this was shocking, because the movie was so long and this book is a SHORT STORY, only 54 pages long and NO CHAPTERS!!! How did they make the movie from this?! Secondly, my dad knows how I absolutely DESPISED that movie, so why would he tell me to read this book?! Well, the book was a fast read and that I was thankful for, because everything I hated about the movie, they managed to put IN DETAIL, in this short story….. All the good parts from the movie, which wasn’t many, just the parts where I got to see cute sheep and lambs, WAS NOT in this book. I’m just glad I read it fast!
