dasox24 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 About 70 pages into The Blind Side right now. Figured I might as well read it since I went to a rival high school of Michael Oher's and know a bit about the story already. Plus, I saw the movie a few weeks ago.

iamshack Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) The Road is great/ very depressing. McCarthy's style of writing is different but fit very well with the book. Time to dig into No Country For Old Men next. Agreed about McCarthy's writing style. My first book of his that I read was No Country, and I really struggled to get through it, which is not usually a problem with me. I picked up The Road about a year ago anyways, got about 3 pages into it, and gave up. I just can't read his writing style... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Just finished the Final Theory by Mark Alpert. For anyone who loves science, its a thriller with Einstein's Theory of Everything as the background of a terrorist plot. Pretty awesome read.

Yoda Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Went to campus and got me Open Veins of Latin America. It’s an analysis of the underdevelopment and exploitation that Latin America has been under since its discovery and the unequal capitalist societies which exist to this day. I think first-hand experience is the best resource available when looking for answers to such realities and the author to this book provides just that.

Texsox Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 I've been reading David Rice's Crazy Loco to my History class during our "DEAR" time. DEAR is Drop Everything And Read. The whole school stops at 8:45 and reads for 20 minutes. David is a local author, born here and raised in the town just north. Amazing how quiet they egt when we are reading something about them.
