It's National Banned Books Week. So, try your hand as this quiz about banned books from Mental_Floss. And try out a new book or two! Some of my favourites are:
The Princess Bride - even funnier than the movie, "Inconceivable!" as that might be.
Hitchhiker's Guide the the Galaxy - An amusing intergallactic tale by Douglas Adams. The first of five such cynical yet hilarious books about the adventures of Arthur Dent in the far reaches of the universe.
A Wrinkle in Time - a fascinating sci-fi story I first read in middle school...it's still a fascinating tale of time travel and adventure.
Stargirl - Definitely a tear-jerker, but also a sweet, thought-provoking look at popularity vs. thinking about others in a small Mica, AZ high school.
About Me
- Greta
- I'm an anthropology student from Kansas State University going to Malta for a 3-week field school this summer to explore the influence of economics, trade and culture on the island's food - or is it the other way around? This blog will function as a way for me to organize my thoughts, look back at my project as it develops and most importantly to keep in touch with family, friends and fellow students as I undertake the research this summer.

miss greta:
have you read the owlstone crown, the giving tree, or um.. all of shel silversteins books?
they are wonderful...
to kill a mockingbird is also fantastic ;)
I haven't read the two first books you mentioned, although I love Shel Silverstein's poetry and To Kill A Mockingbird! Thanks for the references...I'll have to check them out.
Hey Greta!
Can't say that I've read any of those books actually... but I might have to crack one open shortly.
Thanks for responding to my blog btw. I'm actually a student from Canada, and I would hope that by my post you would know that the stereotypes for Canadians are not ALL true.
Anyways, it was awesome talking to you... I may have received extra credit from my English teacher thanks to your comment!
Thanks again
