What are you reading?

“'Don Quixote,' by Miguel de Cervantes. I read a condensed version of it in high school, but I wanted to get the full effect. There's just something about conquering a book that big.”

“'Flower Children,' by Maxine Swann. It's an interesting story about these parents with an Ivy League education who turn their back on that lifestyle and raise their children as hippies. It's all written from the children's point of view.”

“'Anna Karenina,' by Leo Tolstoy. It's a painful read, but it's a classic.”

“'The Rule of Four,' by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. It's a mystery about a book that holds the key to some kind of code, and these two friends who are students are trying to solve the code and figure out what the book is really about.”

“'The Scarlet Letter,' by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I'm reading it because I'm a high school English teacher, and I have to teach it next semester. I'd never read it before. I'm really enjoying it.”
