Currently reading:  Nineteen Minutes (Jodi Picoult, author of My Sister’s Keeper)

“If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask… with nothing beneath it?” 

I borrowed this book along with The Catcher in The Rye and The Bell Jar for pleasure and ENGLRES purposes. I started reading this compelling work of fiction yesterday morning several hours before my first class which was INTHROP. Today during those eight dim hours as a result of a power failure, I read more than half of Nineteen Minutes. To be honest, Jodi Picoult’s thrilling novel was the best 300+ pages I’ve ever read. Yes, even better than all four books of the Twilight saga. Not to mention I was enthralled with Picoult’s very impressive range of vocabulary words used in the book.
