The Giver
Remember all those books they made you read in school? The ones that you half read so that you would be able to answer the questions on the work sheet and maybe pass the pop quiz? Well, one of those books happened to be the Giver and as I wandered through borders the other day looking for a book to read, it caught my eye. I remembered liking the story but other than that could not remember a thing. So . . . I picked it up as my next summer read. I loved it, I think I appreciated it much more now than I ever did in the sixth grade. It makes you think about all the things you are grateful for in life that we just take for granted. I am thankful for family, for colors, for joy and pain, I am grateful for the opportunity to make choices and be a unique individual. Any suggestions for the next summer pick?
