16)The Historian (and I never have to read it again)
17)The Accidental Tourist (I thought I would like it more)
18)Long Way Gone (If this doesn't reach my students, nothing will)
19)The Complete Persepolis)
20)Prince Caspian
21)The Virgin Suicides
22)Rwanda means the universe (very well written and heart wrenching, but such dense prose with non-western story structure -- wheew!)
23)I was told there'd be cake (nice, easy balance for #22) ]]> 31781777 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:38:55 -0700 Comment1252862 <![CDATA[new comment from Jennie]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show_group/12649.Jennie_s_50_for_2008 Jennie made a comment in the 50 Books 2008 group:

bookshelves: africa, memoir, non-fiction
There were times that I wanted to scream reading this book. I was outraged at what happened to Ishmael and his friends. I am so thankful he was able to tell his story. This book is our first year read this year, and if this doesn't get my students' attention, I don't know what will. ]]> 22892985 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:33:10 -0700 Review10620005 <![CDATA[Jennie added 'The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10620005 The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story (Hardcover) by Diane Ackerman
