Oh, I read Romeo and Juliet too, when we had to choose 4 shakespeare stories. We were supposed to read it last year in class, but my teachers wife's was in the hospital cause they were having a kid. We watched the movie instead.

If I count the fact that silent reading included only classics I read
The Turning of the Screw
Heart of Darkness
Call of the Wild

Only the Call of the Wild was good. I liked the Lord of the flies too.

I'm in Year 10. Some of the books we might read have weird names...Wouldn't it be nice to read things like Harry Potter?

Welll...
I can only remember Bridge to Terabithia and About a Boy... although I never read them.. everyone tells what happens the next chapter so there was no need to '-'.
