There’s nothing better than a good bad character, otherwise known a villains. In my head, the word “villain” is a little too strong — I immediately think of wicked witches and murders rather than characters in books, so this post took me a little out of my comfort zone.

Recommended Reading Per Class
It’s officially back-to-school season — I guess it’s been back-to-school-season, but I’m riding this wave as long as I can because this has always been my favorite unofficial season. I was the dork that always loved school, and I guess I still am. I decided to make a list of books I would require if I were to teach any of the following subjects. Let’s get started!

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest:A Review
Title: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Author: Ken Kesey Genre: Fiction Quotation: “Never before did I realize that mental illness could have the aspect of power, power. Think of it: perhaps the more insane a man is, the more powerful he could become.” Would recommend to: anyone that loves a classic or is interested in mental health. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is an entrancing novel about the conditions of mental hospitals during the 1960s. Kesey’s novel incorporates complex themes that challenge traditional thinking about mental health, democracy and the treatment of the “insane”. The novel is narrated from Chief Bromden’s perspective. A patient who has been on the ward longer than anyone…

Top 5 Wednesday: Summer Reads
It’s that time of year again! School is out (theoretically), and the living is easy (theoretically). But that doesn’t mean we bookworms don’t have big dreams for the summer. I don’t know about you, but I want to read at least 15 books in these 14 weeks of summer I have. Here’s the top 5 books I want to read before school starts up again. 1. Catch- 22 by Joseph Heller I bought this from a used, online bookstore, and it’s been sitting on my shelf for well over two years. It’s high time I read. It’s been recommended to me by multiple friends and it’s time I take the plunge…
