I will return the following Young Adult books:
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
and
the perks of being a wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Both books are extremely popular for high school students. I can see why. Both worth a read, especially if you want to hear voices from that netherworld of adolescence.
The library has the following books on hold for me:
Consider the lobster, and other essays by David Foster Wallace
and
From beginning to end: the rituals of our lives by Robert Fulghum.
I intend to read only selected portions of the above books.
I just finished reading Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton (for my novel writing class)
and
I am currently reading for book club (even though they already discussed this one!) The Writing on the Wall: a novel by Lynne Sharon Schwartz.
and
I am working my way through The Kenyon Review and Special Handling, a book of poetry by Mark Pawlak.
What's on your shelf?????
