After reading about the endless back and forth about whether this should be taught, I finally read it for my adolescents and literature class. A word on to-teach-or-not-to-teach issue: I'm not in favor of censorship per se (n.b.: that per se is a joke), but Cormier isn't exactly scrimping on the masturbation and violence here, so maybe it would be sub-awesome to include this in the curriculum if you think your students might be incited to tittering by sentences such as, "The exhilaration of the moment vanished and he sought it in vain, like seeking ecstasy's memory an instant after jacking off and encountering only shame and guilt." On page five. Note to potentially controversial authors of young adult lit: maybe try to stick these references a little further along in the narrative? Anyway, I found it very interesting, particularly since I think the Bryn Mawr curriculum would have been more likely to include Tropic of Cancer or Justine or something than this. Too much of a boy book. So I've grown quite fixated on how (perhaps the better question is why--if I wind up writing a rationale for inclusion in a curriculum for the book, I'll include it below) you might teach this to a class of girls. The best I can come up with is that it would be really interesting in conjunction with [an excerpt from] Clifford Geertz, i.e. as an exercise in cultural analysis, understanding systems of belief, etc. Or perhaps in comparison to Mama Lola, which was really a revelatory text for me after I realized that Karen Brown was doing her research on voodoo priestesses a subway ride away from Manhattan. I think we would all be more interested in social anthropology or ethnography if the texts were less like "Coming of Age in Samoa" and more like "Coming of Age as a Voodoo Priestess Somewhere on the MTA Subway Grid." I know I would. More probably, I think it would be fun to compare it to Friday Night Lights, maybe in relation to a piece of the theory, and to have students do some kind of cultural analysis of something highly familiar and then depict it in either fiction or non-fiction. Whatever. My big concern with writing a whole series of lessons about The Chocolate War geared toward a single-sex classroom is that we just read a book about transgender and spent quite a long time problematizing the entire concept of gender and how curricula should really be working to break the gender dichotomy, so by writing a lesson designed for a single-sex classroom I could really look like, what is the word I am looking for here, a schmuck. A big schmuck. A big, transgender-neglecting schmuck.

I'm feeling inspired already - or, I would be, if I weren't feeling so cynical. I bought this book not realizing that Andy Andrews is one of those business/motivational speaker authors. The story is a contrivance to allow him to look back at certain historical characters and focus on the "choice" they made to "do something special" with their lives choices (and, of course, by making this choice they made the world a better place and if only you would choose also to do something special with your life you would make the world a better place). The characters of the "story", as a result, lack any substance. But, on the bright side, it is a quick read and I learned a few things. For example, I knew almost nothing about George Washington Carver before reading this book.

This wasn't the best book I have ever read, but it was engaging. Sure the characters, themes and ideas are staple elements drawn from our favorite comic books... but I believe that is the point? It is fun commentary and a twist on the norm. This is a 'novel' through the eyes of the super heroes themselves, covering their inner dialogue in the struggle to fit in. Besides, in modern culture it's not what you take... it's where you take it! In my eyes, this was certainly a fresh view of the same old. I read this before I got around to pulling down that copy of The Watchmen from the shelf (I've been meaning to read through that for years...) and in some sense it fits in a similar vein, 'real' superheroes (and villains) with real lives and real struggles.

Exploring the novels of the Hawkwind Lyricists A fun read. I reccomend ending each book with a Hawkwind song. It is way better then reading those stupid songs in Tolkien. Moorcock would have been the best dungeon master.

This was an interesting book. I plowed through it in 3 days. It was interesting to learn about the Hmong experience in America because I really didn't know anything about them.
This is the best thing I've ever dug out of my attic. Retro smut is the way to go.
Beautiful. A poignant look at how the fallout of slavery affected personal narratives and the heartbreaking decisions the characters had to make. Also a provocative account of decisions we regret...and how they can continuously return to destroy us if we do not let go of them.

LOVED!! The first book I read that inspired me to write.
it's not a really good book, but i'm a fan of the other two ringworld books and Larry Niven's 'Known Universe' so I was suckered in. some interesting stuff happens, but the ending is quite unsatisfying. i could have been just fine not reading it.
