For my outside reading blog i chose the book "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
I started at page 0 and read to page 30 in class. If we do the math correctly that's 30 pages i read in class. As of what I've read so far I'm loving this book. It's just so pleasantly odd. It's about this little boy -possibly actually a teenager- who is gifted with all these crazy, yet fantastically original ideas and thoughts. He seems to be very drawn to his father and has an almost creepy obsession with pleasing his mother. Also, I'm not entirely sure yet, but i think he may be autistic or something to that similar effect because he is so completely random and seems to be completely unaware of logical thinking and social boundaries. I mean, to demonstrate just how innocently trusting he is here is a shocking example from the book; this boy gives duplicate keys to his loft -WHICH happens to have ALL of his and his family's valuable belongings -to everyone from the mailman to the pizza delivery man. Oh boy...
The place that i left off we just found out his father died. Sorry i keep calling him HIM. I don't believe they've given me a name yet.
