I went to Borders and bought a book today with a gift certificate I had gotten for Christmas. I had read about this book somewhere, and then saw that the book club at school is reading it now. So that sealed the deal. The book is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. The librarian at school told me that it would really open my eyes to the realities of slavery and racism in the South. Sounds rough, but I'm up for it.
Another thing that contributed to me picking up this book is that it is a New York Times Bestseller. My mom says that if you want to be a bestselling author, you should read bestselling books. Sounds like wise advice. I don't know that I'll ever be an author, but if I am, then I am determined to be a bestselling one.
