Book Recommendations:

In AP Gov. and Politics, Mr. Nesper told us about his book club. A group of people essentially decide on a novel to read. They read in the same pace, analyze the novel, and discuss it. Nesper asked his students for a book recommendation, genre be damned! Here's mine: 

• The Color Purple - Alice Walker   

• Historical fiction? Heartbreak? This novel speaks of the struggle of human morale through the gruesome, yet realistic, life of an African-American girl. 

• Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury 

• If you enjoyed Brave New World, then you'll enjoy this as well. Guy Montag, the protagonist, inwardly and outwardly questions society. In a world where firefighters burn books, Montag (a firefighter) goes against everything he has been conditioned to do by saving books he was meant to burn.

• The Book Thief - Marcus Zusak 

• Historical Fiction? Young Adult? World War II, a girl becomes fostered by an unlikely couple living in Munich, Germany (the center of the Nazi Party). She learns to read from an unlikely teacher, a Jew they have sheltered in the basement of their home. 

• The Things They Carried - Tim O'Brien

• Stories of war. Stories of hope and fear and death. A novel that compiles stories of the reality of war (before, during, and after).

• Throne of Glass - Sarah J Maas

• Series? Young-Adult? Fantasy? Kick-ass FEMALE ASSASSIN PROTAGONIST? That is all.
