For your first Individual Reading Report of the semester, you must read a work of fiction that is at least 150 pages long. You may select any book you wish, but your 1-2 page reading report must cover the following:

The type of book this is (such as Romance, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Thriller, Mystery, Mainstream Fiction, etc.)

You must introduce the main characters and provide a brief synopsis of the primary storyline

You must identify at least one element in the book that surprised you

You must identify at least one element in the book that you truly enjoyed reading

You must identify your favorite aspect of this book

You must identify at least one thing that you wish the author would have done differently

You must tell us how you enjoyed the book--would you recommend it to others? Why or why not?

Half of your grade will be based on your on-time informal presentation of this material in class, half will be based on an evaluation of your written report.
