Wow I read that book 7 years ago when I was in 4th grade. It was a little too advance for me back then so I didnt really pay attention to it.

I find it hard to read books that I'm told to read.

I've read probably close to ten books in the past two months and I chose each and every one.

As for The Giver, I was told to read it and never finished.

The Giver was a good book. Interesting concept, from what I remember. I read it back in like 6th grade, though, and being a college graduate, I don't remember the whole thing.

Right now, I'm re-reading my favorite college lit book- Welcone to the Monkey House, a Kurt Vonnegut short story collection, but am also reading James Patterson's London Bridges (I'm hooked on Alex Cross). I just finished re-reading two of my favorites- Catch 22 and Confederacy of Dunces- both are must reads if you haven't read them.

I just read it for a summer reading project for school last summer. Keep reading. It gets good actually in the end. One of the more enjoyable books our school picks. Rolling Eyes
