Reading: Chapter 5 (Magazines) for Tuesday Oct. 14
Blog 2: Books (due Sunday Oct. 12 midnight)
Discuss three books you have read that had the most influence on you and/or are controversial for some reason. In 2-3 sentences, describe why each one was influential and/or controversial. Write in more detail than saying, “It was good” or “it made me laugh.” Say why it was good or made you laugh, how it stayed with you after you read it and/or your opinion about the controversy. Add friendly links to the books on Amazon.com or another online bookseller, or authors’ websites.
