I'm now reading Vets Might Fly by James Herriot
Same. I have some books in limbo because of school.I'm not actively reading anything. Too busy with school at the moment. D:
In limbo are:
Grouding for the Metaphysics of Morals - Immanuel Kant.
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand (I swear I'll finish this one day!)
The Communist Manifesto and Other Revolutionary Writings - various
However, the stack of books I have purchased but not yet read is something like this:
The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism - Naomi Klein
Voltaire's Bastards: The Dictatorship of Reason in the West - John Ralston Saul
The Collapse of Globalism - also by Saul
With Every Mistake - Gwynne Dyer
The Iliad - Homer
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson
Beyond Good and Evil - Nietzsche
And I'm always re-reading the Sun Tzu.
Jasper Fforde - The Big Over Easy
Fforde is a fantastic author. I've read the whole Thursday Next series, just starting on Nursery Crimes. The great thing about The Big Over Easy is that it manages to be witty and slightly silly whilst still being a very good mystery novel.

Read both of those in 8th grade. They're decent, though I must insist you introduce your class to the How to Kill a Mockingbird flash video.Well here in the IB program we just finished To Kill a Mockingbird which was boring. Now we are reading Night. Our outside reading book for this nine weeks is Mythology.
Also a horrible pun: if you have 2,000 mockingbirds, you have two kilo-mockingbirds.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you.
You Philistine! To Kill a Mockingbird is a fantastic work of fiction. One of the best books I've ever read.Well here in the IB program we just finished To Kill a Mockingbird which was boring.

It's hardly historical fiction. Historical fiction deals with real events into which fiction is woven; To Kill a Mockingbird is merely a modern classic.

The Scottsboro trial was a very similar case but I don't think you could say it was based around it. It certainly was never mentioned, and the particulars of the case are almost completely different. There's not enough to call it a historical fiction based on the Scottsboro trial.
