I need to read a book (from a list) for my English class. There will be small-group discussions on said book. Those three are the ones I narrowed it down to. If you've only read one or two of the books, at least tell me which one and if it was good or bad. Please! |

I've only read The Handmaid's Tale & Jane Eyre, but I would go with the former. It's a great book, I absolutely loved it. There will definitely be a lot for you to discuss in class. I expected to like Jane Eyre a lot more than I did. It really didn't resonate with me. Frankly, it nearly put me to sleep, and that never happens to me. |

I've only read The Stranger, and I read it in 10th grade, so it was 4 or 5 years ago. My impression of it at that point was that it was one of the strangest books I had ever read. I think that if I were to re-read it now, I might have a different opinion, because I would probably read it differently. or maybe not! _________________ j'ai pas envie d'être un robot, métro boulot dodo -Kelli |

It takes a long time for anything to really start happening, but in the end it's worth it. _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.
