Questioning Society discussion

Congrats to the Book, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher- Our winning book for May 2009.
Read and discuss everything about the Book Here!!

this book i didn't finish due to its depressing story but i am fine if you tell me the ending. i got like 3/4 of it done. it was good.

has anyone read it yet? because i want to discuss!

yes I have.
I guess it probably wasn't the best book to suggest for our first book group, but to late for that.
So which part of the tapes did you get to?

I read it :)

It was so sad though. My friend had told me it was good before it became the book of the month so, when it won book of the month I knew I had to read it.

I'm glad I did but it was REALLY sad :(

Didn't read it....Not going to, sorry. Who picked a sad book?

idk who picked the book.

well it was nominated by quiet a few people, but won the poll. that's how it was picked. Here's a summary from the book:

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers 13 cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker his classmate and crush who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list. Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.

Yeah, there was a poll a while ago.

Oh THAT one. I think I actually saw that in a bookstore a couple months ago.

I heard it was really good.

Now that I know what it is it did sound good.

Maybe we could read You Don't Know Me next? I haven't read all of it but it's okay so far.

I really liked Thirteen Reasons Why, it was a little depressing, but it brought across a strong message about your impact on others.

yeah it did.

When do we vote on the next book?

at the end of may i think.

Now, I just started the Poll.
