Outside Reading Three
I'm undecided about what book to read for my outside reading project this quarter.  It's a tie between three different books:  Rebel Angels by Libba Bray, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and The Life of Pi by Yann Martel.  Rebel Angels is an exciting novel, the sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty, which I read earlier this year.  I am already half way through it however and am wondering if I would not finish it too quickly.  On the other hand, The Life of Pi has recieved rave reviews, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a classic.  Since we are required to read a work that is different from our previous two selections, I'm leaning toward The Life of Pi because it is a new kind of story, written in an interesting style.  Regardless of my choice, I will finish Rebel Angels and then I hope to read the newly released, last installment of the series, (which my friend is reading at the moment), The Far Sweet Thing.
