Reading Pride and Prejudice was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It was one of those books that you expect nothing but the best.

A child should not be grouped with a group of underachievers and be placed under one certain classification and this happens much too often in our schools.

report on a book we had to choose from a list. The first thing I did was choose a book that had an audiobook to it so instead of getting the book from the library I could just listen to it and do my report. Including the fact that I thought I wouldn’t have time during the summer to read (when I had many free days of doing nothing) and that I could just avoid reading it.
