Hi folks, A little about me (try to guess which of these two statements is true, and which one is a lie):
1. I used to live in Michigan. 2. I've been held at gunpoint. 3. I've sung for the President.
Now, down to business: What book should we read? Our goal is just to chat about the books--no homework, tests, or grades. I've tried to choose some things I thought you'd enjoy based on the surveys you sent us. Here are four options. Copy and paste these titles into your reply and put a rating next to each one ("1" for your first choice, "2 for your second, etc.). I'll tally the results and then order the books for us.
