Quarterly

This quarter has been amazing! I have read more than I think I've ever read in my life.  I surprised myself with reading a whole 300 page book on the first Friday that the reading was assigned.  Reading the controversial, blunt writings of Chris Crutcher opened my eyes to the gamut of emotions that can be experienced through reading.  His use of vulgar language and difficult subjects, really allowed me to experience what other people's lives are like.  Then, after reading 4 of his books, I began to read the Hunger Games trilogy.  I read these novels mostly during my assistantship 1st period, in the backroom, next to the distilled water maker, bringing a jolt and excitement to my day.  I think these books have been the most enjoyable novels I have ever read with intense, suspensful action lurking behind every corner.  I think my goal for the rest of the semester will be to finish the Hunger Games trilogy, and discover a new author.
