The one good thing is I only have one more required book to read this summer "Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant" by Anne Tyler. I hope it will be good. Really I am just looking forward to being able to read the books I want to. I have a pile I still want to read by the end of the summer!

Choking on the Grapes of Wrath...
For Honors English next year, we are required to read "The Grapes of Wrath" this summer. I know it is a classic and that you shouldn't dis the classics but I really really REALLY REALLY did not enjoy it at all. At first it was slow and boring and then I got very excited because it started to speed up. However, the speeding up thing did not last long. Steinbeck is an amazing writer and I love how he writes but I need more of a story line in an 619 pages of book. I was also really disappointed by the end or in this case lack of ending. Maybe it's just me but I think I will stick to my Jane Austen and Harry Potter.

Clever title darling, however I think you should be more open minded...you know I didn't really love the book until Ms. Bishop discussed it with us in class. Once you understand more about it and hear what she has to say, you might have a better opinion of it.
