Winter Reading


I love to read and find time every day to read something, even if it is only a magazine or the newspaper. I usually have a book with me as I watch t.v....... those commercials are just enough time to get in a page or two!

I have just finished reading "The Mysterious Benedict Society" and it was an exciting mystery showing lots of good thinking with each twist and turn. Fairly complex for the younger reader, but I think good readers will like it.

I really enjoyed "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins (recommended by Mr. Naipaul) and devoured it in a day. This is the kind of book that keeps you reading; fast paced, exciting, and you are just not sure what is going to happen next. Read it! Definitely for older readers as it deals with a very unusual concept - a reality show about a survival contest among young people... to the death.

What have you read today?

Oh the Huger Games! So good that you cannot put it down! I`ve recommended it to friends and every single one of them says it`s so good, they HAVE to read the next one.«And the Mysterious Benedict Society is a good one! A deep mystery with only four gifted kids to solve!
