Reading Group II

Preliminary feedback on the book from my reading group is generally positive, but nothing special. To take the pulse of pre-teen culture and learn more about the group's members, I asked them to name their favourite book of the last two years. Here are the answers:

• The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, Julie Andrews Edwards
• Inheritance Cycle, Christopher Paolini
• The Bellmaker, Brian Jacques
• The Dancing Pancake, Eileen Spinelli
• The Wee Free Men, Terry Pratchett

Unsurprisingly, fantasy appears to be popular; only the BG's is from her preferred genre, "realistic fiction."
