    Hey Mel a,
    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Gulliver's Travels are both great books: one, for its rich dark, humour; the other as a classic satire on humanity. The latter is not necessarily an easy read, though; I read it as part of a lit major and found parts of it a bit of a slog.

    Oh really? Haha, that happens to me too. I read a book which I think I haven't read and then, I realise that I've read that before. And then, its really embarassing with my friends laughing at me.
    Final year at Uni? Cool! I'm in 11th standard right now. Looong way to go till Uni.
    So, what kind of books do you like?

    Hi Mel!

    Your in my English Ed class? Cheers for the invite! How addictive is this site? Ive been on it for hours at a time reading reviews/finding new books I want to read.

    Ive seen the movie of the boy in the striped pajamas - it was amazing. Im not too sure about the book yet. Its young fiction so you need to keep that in mind. The only thing deterring me at the moment is the length of a lot of the sentences. Its written in the voice of a young boy who has the tendency to ramble on a bit! I def recommend the movie though.

    Well, if you come across any strategies that will get highschoolers reading SHARE! :) I booktalk several books I think they would like and that usually gets some of them reading and I try to order the ones they request and that helps too, but really most days it's like a loosing battle.

    Hi Mel. Thanks for the friend request! I actually have a good bit of time to read but it's usually when I get home or when things slow down at work. The tricky part is getting my students to read!

    Hey new friend: )
    I hated The Secret. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I certainly didn't expect to be as disappointed as I was. I think you should give it a chance though , so many people have loved it and swore it changed their life. I guess to each his own. I loved Jayne Eyre! I would absolutely recommend it. Have you read Little Women? Its another one of my classic faves.
    What are you studying at university?

    Hi there! I'm just dropping by to welcome you to The 100+ Book Challenge. The idea of the group is pretty much self explanatory - try to read 100 or more books in a one year period. If you do have any questions, please feel free to send a message to me or Tenia. In the meantime, good luck reaching your goal!
