Let's hear about it!!!

Discuss the book(s) you are reading outside of class (as well as in class at times). This can be the biography or autobiography you're reading as well as the next book you've moved on to. Dig deep: discuss the way the author develops characters, the setting, the tone of the book, themes the book contains, conflicts the author deals with... What makes the book interesting? What are its flaws? How does this book compare with other books written by the same author?
