I’m
not much of a reader but that doesn’t mean that
when I pick up a book I don’t like it. If any
of you have absolutely nothing to do over Spring Break,
then why not try reading a good book? I’ll give
you a couple summaries on a couple books that I’ve
read that you might like.
The Five People You Meet In Heaven is a book by Mitch
Albom. It’s about an old man named Eddie who
works at an amusement park called Ruby Pier for most
of his life. Eddie is killed in an accident at Ruby
Pier, and when he dies he meets five different people
in heaven. Every person Eddie meets has made some
sort of impact on his life while he was alive, even
if he didn’t know them. Each of the five people
have waited in their own version of Heaven for Eddie,
and they’re there to teach him a lesson before
he actually gets to move on. Once they’ve taught
him the lesson they’re there to teach him, they
get to move on. This book has also been made into
a movie if you’d rather see it than read it.
There are also other books I like to read, they aren’t
chapter books, but they are books of people’s
secrets from all around the world. These books are
called Post Secret, and they are put together by Frank
Warren. The Post Secret books that are out are Post
Secret, My Secret, The Secret Lives of Men and Women,
and A Lifetime of Secrets. You can also check out
www.postsecret.com which is updated every Sunday with
brand new secrets. Seeing other people’s secrets
helps out a lot of other people around the world with
secrets of their own. It helps you to realize that
there are other people out there with problems just
like yours. Some secrets are funny, sad, mean, cute,
or just confusing. Why don’t you try sending
in a secret of your own? Go to the website for the
address.
Some other good books to read if you’re into
scary (and sometimes funny at the same time) stories;
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, More Scary Stories
to Tell in the Dark, and Scary Stories 3: More Tales
to Chill Your Bones by Alvin Schwartz. These are books
that have many different scary/weird stories in them.
Some of the stories you may find funny.
Try reading a book sometime. Even if you’re
just reading it to put you to sleep at night, there
are a lot of good books out there.
