book list

Surprisingly I actually read one of the books on the list. Smashed: A story of a drunken Girlhood. I thought this book is a great book. One reason is because if your expecting a whole class of freshman to read a book, it needs to be something they relate to. In college a lot of people will start drinking, and not only that throughout the story the girl goes through different transitions of her life. I just loved this book because I have alcholism in my family, and also she went to similar places I've been before, so i might have a bias opinion but i thought it was a terrific book. Seeing it on the list actually wanted me to go home and get the book. This book also shows how she goes through a lot of situations teenagers go through.
