rating: 3 of 5 stars Story of an LDS guy from Bear River, Utah who worked as a spy in Russia. This could have been ME if I'd only decided to become a spy instead of a teacher!
"War and Peace" -- somehow, I've never read this...
"Bud, Not Buddy" -- this is a middle school book, but my students talk about it all the time. I need to read it.
Other random books that are already on my bookshelf. According to TJY, you can't put a book on your shelf until you've actually read it. Right. Good advice that actually did helped me ace my PRAXIS exam, since I had to either read "Crime and Punishment" or take it off the shelf.
"The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I've read and taught this novel a few times, but I still don't like it. I think if I read it again, for pleasure, and really, really, really think about it, I'll (hopefully) like it. Everyone else likes it. I think English teachers are required to like the classics. I'm just not quite sure why I still hate this book so much. I need to find a way to like it. :(
Best American Short Stories 2006--- I have to read this for class, but I'll be honest, I've really just skimmed through the stories so I have SOMETHING to talk about during our class discussions. I think I'd like the stories, though... if I ever found the time to actually read them. Uggghhhh.
"The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kid
"One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
