Clint's 2010 Dover Thrift Challenege

[Clint]

Alright, so my book challenge is a bit modified.

I'm a senior in high school and I have decided to become a more avid reader and, instead of watching mindless television shows (although I can't resist Jersey Shore...), use my free time to delve into books. I ordered 18 books (and plays), all Dover Thrift editions, that randomly interested me and have challenged myself to read all of them before I graduate from high school, June 18th 2010.

So far I have finished reading:
1. The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells
2. This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I loved this book! I read it when everyone seemed to be reading Jurassic Parks: The Lost World by Michael Crichton. I just had to be different. What did you think?

[Clint]

I loved it too! It was definitely different from what I expected (I thought it would have been more like Jurassic Park), but I can't complain. Although I would like to read Michael Crichton's novel as well.

I want to read Jurassic Park: The Lost World also. I loved Jurassic Park!
