Novels

[Alias=Life]

Well, we're reading a book called "Night" right now for English. It's about a survivor of the holocaust who lost everything, so it's pretty sad.

What is everyone else reading?

I just read "I Have Lived A Thousand Years" which was about a girl that survived the Holocaust. One of the best books I've ever read.

Now we're getting ready to start "Of Mice and Men" which everyone has told me is boring. I hope it isnt....

"I Have Lived A Thousand Years" is my favorite book. Not because of the atroscities (sp.) committed against the Jewish people, but because of one girl's ability to transcend the most horrible circumstances and survive what she did. ( I felt it necessary to stress that point).

I'm reading Beowulf. shoot me. shoot me now.

I have never read "of mice and men" but i honestly don't think it could be as bad as either Wuthering Heights, or the Scarlett Letter. ihh. the thought of those two books makes me cringe.

We have to read Great Expectations.

And it's a pretty good book, but we have to really annotate the felgercarb out of this novel.

We're halfway done, but when I just got back my novel on friday, I got a 30 as a test grade for my notes on the novel.

And the notes were pretty good. I'm kinda pissed....

I start reading Beloved as soon as I buy the book.

We've read a ton of stuff, though. For General Listification:
Freshman year:
Romeo and Juilet
Of Mice and Men
To Kill a Mockingbird
Farenheit 451
Athletic Shorts
And some random 'read whatever you want, I don't care' stuff

Sophomore Year:
Whale Talk
All Quiet on the Western Front
Mythology (gag, splutter)
A Separate Peace
Juilus Cesar
Mountains Beyond Mountains
The Endurance
A Tale of Two Cities
Cryano DeBererac
Cry, the Beloved Country

Junior year:
Catcher in the Rye
Huckleberry Finn
The Scarlet Letter

And then you can just mentally add anything that stands half a chance of being on the AP English test for the rest of the year.
