Outside Reading

So there's a bit of a story behind me choosing my outside reading book. I don't know if anyone is interested in hearing about it, but here it is. My kindle decided to conveniently stop working about a week ago. Apparantly lines sometimes appear on the screen, and this problem is unfixable, and if you're warranty is expired it can't be replaced unless you pay $85. Isn't that great. Anyway, I went to my neighbor's house, being too lazy to go to a bookstore or library. I asked her if she had any books I could read, and everyone who was in the house at the time had a different opinion of what I should read. So I guess I'll just read all of them. The Phantom of the Opera will be my outside reading book. My friend wanted me to read The Mysterious Benedict Society, which was apparantly her favorite book for a long time. However, since she hasn't touched it since she was 10, I wasn't convinced it would be the best option for my AP English class. But I'll read it and blog about it to make her happy, being the good friend that I am :).
