The list of books I read this year include:
Purple Hibiscus
The Lord of The Flies
The Absolute True Diary of a Part Time Indian
Champion
The Outsiders
Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban
American Sniper
Currently we are reading the Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. This book is written in the perspective of an Indian boy. The boy is named Junior, and is in a very poor family. The boy decides to switch school, to the most dangerous one he could go to. Some days Junior has to walk 22 miles to get to school, and once he does get there a bunch of kids pick on him. Later in the story Junior impresses a girl named Penelope, and they start talking more and more.
So far this book has been a great read. I definitely think events like this could happen today. While reading this book it makes me feel really engaged, and wanting to keep reading. While other books are so boring that I never want to read them. Overall this has been a very good book so far.
The book I am currently reading is American Sniper by Chris Kyle. Chris Kyle was a U.S. Navy SEAL and he is famous because the has the most career sniper kills in U.S. military history. He protected his fellow soldiers during the Iraq War. He was tragically killed in 2013 and this was a great loss for the United States. In the book, Chris Kyle talks about his battlefield experiences and his wife, Taya, tells about how his career played a toll on their family. This book has also been made into a movie.
It is really fun to read this book. Sometimes when I am reading it, I actually feel like I am on the battlefield. Chris Kyle did an excellent job describing his day to day activities of protecting his fellow American warriors. This book really makes me think and makes me grateful for those that protect our country. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking for action and suspense.
