Keep Reading!

I know Spring Break was a nice time to catch up on all those other things, but let's keep on reading until Thursday! If you can not make the book club discussion on Thursday for a sporting event or another reason, stop by the Upper Level Media Center at 2:05 p.m. and return the book, mention a thought or 2 related to the book, and VOTE for our final book which we can order due to the Grant money received from FOSH!

Preservationist: Ques. 6

The book starts with Noe and ends with Mirn. Is she the right character to be given the last word, or would you have preferred someone else?

Preservationist: Ques. 5

The chapters jump back and forth between 3rd and 1st person narration. Is this effective?
