Manga, Mrs. West?

For outside reading this quarter, I chose to read the novel Memoirs of a teenage amnesiac, by Gabrielle Zevin. Originally, I planned to read Rebel Angels, the sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty, however I figured it would be difficult to post blogs about the second book in a series due to all the background information that might need to be provided in order make sense of my blogs. Therefore, the night before our choice of books were due, I fretted over what I would read. My list of "books to read" was sparse, containing nothing I felt would be suitable for this assignment. I frantically logged onto my computer and surfed over to TeenReads.com, a great website for recommending and reviewing new book releases. There I discovered Memoirs of a teenage amnesiac. Its summary gave off an interesting vibe that attracted me to the story. I grabbed my wallet and hurried off to Barnes & Noble to get a copy. My mission was successful. Thus far, I have already read eighty-four pages of the book and find it intreging, though I am concerned about the length. Not that it isn't appropriate, for the story is 271 pages long, but I will most likely finish it over Thanksgiving break, forcing me to find another book to read and blog about later. At the moment, I am reading the Fruits Basket series ruthlessly, and would very much like it if Mrs. West would let me read them in class for during outside reading time after I finish my actual book, however I don't know how she feels about manga....
