2016 Diversity Reading Challenge discussion

Add your book title(s) here.

I've read both in previous years. To be honest Elie Wiesel is one of my favorite authors of the Holocaust Jewish writings. I would not mind reading it again this year, but the book is better when read with it's trilogy companions Dawn and Day. (This could be an extra challenge perhaps to read all three of the trilogy???) The series has a depth to it despite that the second two books are works of fiction with no relation to Elie Wiesel true account told in Night. The philosophical natures of the books have you questioning all aspects of morality, religion, relationships, and humanity. Night is incredibly personal as Elie Wiesel talks about his relationship with his father and God while at the concentration camps of Auschwitz Buchenwald Frank, of course is a classic. I will have to admit that at times the book is boring and dry. Then again that's what makes it so great because it puts you into Anne Franks perspective. This is a girl who should have grown up playing outside and going to school with friends, not hiding all day with her family in an annex. When her diary ends it is not hard to imagine that you know Anne Frank on a personal level, and it makes it that much harder to know that this girl died a tragedy. Even more difficult to comprehend is how many Anne Frank's died during the Holocaust?

I'm looking forward to reading Night. It's been required reading around here in schools for a while & is one of those titles I thought I would get around to reading; however, like Anne Frank (I agree it is dry at times) I feel like you have to make a point to read some books, especially if you're not in school .

Not sure which of the two titles I might read again.
