The Vote

All of the books sounded really interesting and it’s hard for me to pick between The Road and My Sister’s Keeper. On one hand I really liked My Sister’s Keeper and I know it will fit in the class but on the other I’ve got this strange love for post apocalyptic stories and The Road sounds really creepy! The only thing I can think of that kind of steers me away from picking The Road is that maybe it would be a bit of a dark class if all the books ended up being depressing but wait… My Sister’s Keeper isn’t exactly a bright book either. I know that I will read The Road but I’m not sure next class would really enjoy reading about that sort of thing even though I’m eager to. Then again it does sound like it has interesting writing that I do think will add to the class discussion. One thing that makes me hesitate from picking My Sister’s Keeper is that it’s like a lot of the books we read in this class and I like how The Road seems to be unique and unlike all the rest of the books.
Okay, so here it is *drum roll* my vote goes to The Road! I loved My Sister’s Keeper but I was sold when The Road was being pitched. If it does make the class a little depressing it can just be put in between Happiness and Water for Elephants! Besides it will bring in a new type of book for the next course to look at.
So… even though I really was interested by all the other books pitched I have to say The Road wins this one.
