I NEED A BOOK, ...please?? Options

^Ew, Jack London. </3

I'm sorry, I just thought Call of the Wild was unbearably boring. Jack London shouldn't have been allowed to write. "The moose was killed by Buck." "Buck killed the moose." "Answering the call, Buck did." "Buck answered the call."

I bet you read Call of the Wild as study in class. It butchers the point of reading. If you read Jack London books for leisure, you get the message in a deeper way than just similes and metaphors and imagery.

I did, haha. But we actually had to tell why Buck answered the call and all that jazz. It was about "going back to his roots" or whatever. :snore:

But I read The Giver in class, and I thought it was excellent.

^ Exactly the case here. We had to analyze that little poem at the beginning of the book, and about tracing back to his roots, which I found an extreme waste of time. But the book itself was amazing in my opinion, not as amazing as Whitefang, but pretty amazing.

I'm going to read The Giver in class next year, and I've heard either "I hated it" or "I loved it". I read the first few chapters and thought it was kind of intriguing.

OMFG the poem. -___- Ew. Please, please please don't remind me.

I have to read Alas, Babylon for the summer. I haven't heard good things about it. >_>;;
