Of Mice & Men was good.

Like I said before..I didnt read the books, BUT Junior and Senior year, we didnt read books..we read short stories. I LOVED just about every story. I forget most of them though, but one of them was called Hills With White Elephants (eh..ok), Thank You Ma'Am, and some other one that was REALLY good last year. It was about these guy friends who went to a lake...SOMETHING Lake..lol GREASY Lake!!!! Yea! Thats it.. There was another good one too. About a boy who had to see a counselor because he acted off in school and stuff. Soon, he loved going there and his parents wanted to stop him from going there. At the end, I believe the boy ran away. There were a couple others too. Ok, Ill stop lol. My brain is going into overload:crazy:

"Night" was a great book, though. The Devil's Arithmetic & Counting The Stars was equally as good.

Everyone else in my class hated Pride & Prejudice, but I loved it and I'm still obsessed with it. Go see the BBC version of P&P. It's 6 hours long, but well worth the watch!

Well currently in school we're reading "Harry Potter and The Chamber or Secrets"....That's pretty good.

There's was also another book I read a few years ago.I think it was called "Signs of a Beaver" or something like that.It was about a white boy who brfriends a Native American.That was pretty good as well.They made a CBS TV-Movie based on it a few years ago.

I had to read that for summer reading for my 9th grade Honors English class. It was all right, but most people hated it.

Some other books I've thought of:

The BFG (had to read it in 3rd grade and I still love it!)
We read part of the play The Diary of Anne Frank which made me go out and by the book and to this day it is still my favorite book so I didn't really read it for school.
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
Romeo and Juliet (the only Shakespeare I like)
