What Are You Reading Good? (5/19/08)

Every Monday, I will be posting a new "What Are You Reading Good?" for the week.  This is your chance to share what you are reading good for the week.  As a student, you should be reading about one book a week, depending on how long the book is.  A Harry-Potter-sized book might count as three books because it is so long and so it may take you three weeks to finish.  Try and set a goal for yourself and see if you can meet it! 

Right now, I am reading Heat, by Mike Lupica.  I have never really read a sports fiction book but I really like it so far.  I found out one secret that Michael, the main character, is trying to keep.  I think there may be another one, but so far it has not been revealed, or told, to the reader.  Michael just met a girl named Ellie who he thinks is the most beautiful girl in the world...but she seems to have her own secrets!  I can't wait to read more!

I am also reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie.  I'm reading this book by listening to it on CD.  I love listening to books on CD.  It's fun to hear the different voices the reader uses and the emotion in the reader's voice.  I think listening to books on tape, CD, or on playaways is a great way to become a better reader.  You can check these out at your public library.  I just started this book and so far it is about a boy who lives on  native american reservation.  So far he is talking about his life, about being poor, about his friend who has a crazy-mad temper, and his dog who got sick.  I like the writing so far.  

What are you reading good?  Please share with me and other blog-readers.  I love to share what I am reading, to hear what others are reading, and to get ideas for books I want to read.  Let me know if you have questions about the books I am reading or about anything in this post. Don't forget, keep reading good!
