More Summer Reading

I haven't heard from any of my followers!

What? You don't want to comment on your summer reading book? I didn't create the list, your English teachers did! However, I am enjoying them, immensely...I'm not kidding! They're really interesting.

I have continued through the list with Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles. I could not figure out why this book would be on their list until I read it. Read it, and let me know the reason it was added to the reading list. It's not hard to read, AT ALL. Yes, there's all sorts of Martian names and characters, and you'll find out how people thought in the 50s...terrifying.

Also, I read The Miracle Worker and it's not hard either, especially since I've seen the movie about seven times. It was wonderful, however, to read all the dialogue you can't quite hear when you see the film.

I also want to thank SK for sending a wonderful Power Point of titles she would like placed in the Kimball HS Library. I was hoping to post it here, but I think it's too big. I may just list all the titles on a future post. Most of the titles were put on the book order, and hopefully, most of them will be on the shelves this year. If anyone from Kimball HS wants to do something similar, it would be welcomed.
