I keep hearing great things about it. Still haven’t read Speak, but I think I might be able to teach it in one of my new courses next year. I keep hearing great things about it.

I've bookmarked your site and hope you can make a visit to quoteflections who started this meme. Speak is a phenomenal book for Grade 9's. Hi Jeff,

At least, I think that was AP. She doesn't seem to fit into African-American lit, which was junior year. I don't think I read teen novels when I was a teen. I read them now, and they're great fun. What does that say about me? My fave AP English book was Doris Lessing’s the Golden Notebook. At least, I think that was AP. She doesn’t seem to fit into African-American lit, which was junior year.

Great post. I love especially the part about your reluctance to assign books too special to you, "casting pearls before the" etc. As for AP? Yeah, as I think you caught on Twitter, I'm giving it up after one year. Another form of pearls in the mud. I'll have to check out your choice. Never read it. It’s been too long. Great post.
