In the latst two years of school my grades have dropped significantly due to excessive reading.
I was the first person ever to be told "Stop reading, for gods sake." Twice.
Speaking of animal farm, I read that enire book while hiding out in the bathroom during grade 8 religion.
Truly a great comment on the power of well, POWER.
Currently I am into the Neanderthal Parallax by Robert Sawyer, who is a brilliant writer.
To Kill A Mockingbird....That book affected me. Really.
Half of my class had never even read a book that was without pictures before, let alone finished one.
(Two guys who sat behind me read Captian Underpants books for a report, no shit.)
TKAMB (as it is stupidly abbreviated) was very powerful, and the ending was truly fantastic.
I read Watership Down for the aforementioned Book Report.
Why is it that animal books always have such a profound effect on us?
