    I just got the list of books that I have to read. I'm supposed to do one over the summer.

    Which should I choose?

    Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom - *****

    Out of Harms Way: The Extraordinary True Story of One Woman's Lifelong Devotion to Animals - Terry Crisp - *****

    Getting Away with Murder: The True Story of the Emmett Till Case - Chris Cowe - *****

    It's Not About the Bike - Lance Armstrong - ****1/2

    All over but the Shoutin' - Rick Bragg - ****1/2

    Wicked - Gregory Maguire - ***1/2

    Whale Talk - Chris Crutcher - ****1/2

    The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky - ****1/2

    The House of the Scorpion - Nancy Farmer - *****

    A Raisin in the Sun - Lorraine Hansberry - ****1/2

    Cold Sassy Tree - Olive Ann Burns - ****


    The Stars mean what the ratings were on Amazon

    By reading some reviews The Perks of Being a Wallflower seems very interesting... also so does almost every other but I want to know your opinion :)

    Sorry for hijacking your thread, but I'm being forced to read some books too. :(

    TEXTS: Read one (1) text from Group A and one (1) from Group B

    Group A River of Hidden Dreams by Connie May Fowler or The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult

    Group B 1984 by George Orwell or Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut

    Any suggestions?

    Well Group B go with 1984 thats one of my favorite books and Group A go With The Tenth Circle... its an OK book but better than the other...

    I think Im going to go with The Perks of Being a wallflower but I'm not sure... its so hard when they give you 10 choices!
