Pleasure Reading

Although I am usually EXHAUSTED by the end of the evening, I usually read a page or two of whatever book I am reading at the moment. The book I am reading is not related to any of my classes, but it is just phenomenal. I needed to tell everyone about it!

I am currently reading "The Help." I have been told that soon enough, many high schools will use it as required reading. Lake High School in Hartville is one of those schools. It is about different women in the 1960's. It covers race, class, and gender struggles from each woman's account. Each of the women also have some kind of secret that keeps you anxiously turning each page.

If I wasn't so tired every night, I'm sure I would have flown through this book much faster! Has anyone else read it? It seems that this book is going to be very important!

  1. Jordan, I think it's awesome that you are able to read a little in the spare time we have. It's good to sty up on the books teens are reading in order for us to stay connected with their interests. :-) I will add "The Help" to my reading list for the summer if I ever get around to it.
