<\/em>Collin: So, Derek, what book are you reading right now?
Derek: …The most recent novel I read was The Underground Railroad<\/em> by Colson Whitehead.
Collin: Alright, well I can guess, but would you like to give us a short rundown of what goes on in [The Underground Railroad<\/em>]?
Derek: So, I was really impressed, and enjoyed the fantastical, literal, underground railroad that [Colson Whitehead] used to frame his story about that time period. He created this actual underground railroad where slaves would escape to the north; it\u2019s the story of those slaves, and it was surreal and different\u2026
Collin: So, it’s fiction based on the truth?
Derek: Yeah, historical fiction.
Collin: How\u2019d you find this book?
Derek: Well, it either won the Pulitzer Prize or the National Book Award. It’s been on my list to read, and I finally read it.
Collin: Great, and, who would you recommend it to?
Derek: I would recommend it to any student of history, for sure, but really the general population. I think the history it involves is great, and Whitehead\u2019s approach to it is fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chance Deluca on The Count of Monte Cristo<\/em>:
Collin: Alright Chance, I understand you\u2019re reading a book right now?
Chance: That I am.
Collin: Alright, and what is this book called?
Chance: The Count of Monte Cristo.<\/em>
Henry Thomas: Collin, this is my seat.
Collin: And may I ask what this book is about?
Henry Thomas: Collin, you wanna, you wanna (indistinct mumble) it\u2019s a three-seater, Collin.
Chance: It\u2019s about a man, [Edmond Dantes], who\u2019s framed for fraud. It\u2019s set during the period where Napoleon was considered a criminal in France. [Edmond Dantes] gets framed and imprisoned by three people who really dislike him. He gets put in jail. One of the people steals his fiancee, and he’s imprisoned for 20 years or so, and then when he gets out, he seeks vengeance.
Collin: So would you say you\u2019re enjoying this book?
Chance: Yeah, it’s a nice book, a fun adventure.
Collin: Who would you recommend this book to?
Chance: Well, anyone really.
Collin: Anyone?
Chance: I think anyone would enjoy sitting down and enjoying a good book every once in a while, and this one\u2019s a good read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Misael Triplett on Ashfall<\/em>:
<\/em>Collin: What book are you reading right now?
Misael: I\u2019m reading Ashfall<\/em>.
Collin: What\u2019s that about?
Misael: It\u2019s about the Yellowstone supervolcano exploding and covering the entire United States in ash. Ash begins to fall and meteors begin to kill a whole lot of people. The military decides to quarantine the zones. We don\u2019t know why. I don\u2019t yet know why at least. They begin taking people. The military is a great factor in this; they come in \u00be of the way through the book. For the first part of the book Alex, the main character, wanders around the wasteland looking for his family.
Collin: Do you like this book?
Misael: Yes, I do.
Collin: How\u2019d you find out about it?
Misael: My mom slammed it in my face and told me to read it.
Collin: A decent way to find out about books. Who would you recommend Ashfall to<\/em>?
Misael: To anyone who likes post-apocalyptic books.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collin: So, Maybelle, what book are you reading?
Maybelle: Looking for Alaska.<\/em>
Collin: What\u2019s that about?
Maybelle: It\u2019s about a boy and a girl, and this boy goes to a boarding school, and the girl is kind of crazy, but he falls in love with her; it\u2019s their story.
Collin: Do you like this book?
Maybelle: Yeah, I like it.
Collin: How\u2019d you come across it, how\u2019d you find out about it?
Maybelle: It\u2019s by John Green, and I\u2019ve read a lot of his other books
Collin: Who would you recommend it to?
Maybelle: Anyone really. I find it a really good book, and I\u2019m very picky about my books. If I don\u2019t like a book, I can\u2019t make myself read it, but this was a super easy read for me because it was so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Savion Biggs Hawthorne on Master & Commander<\/em>:
Savion: I\u2019m currently reading Master & Commander<\/em>\u2026 I\u2019m reading the series. I\u2019m on the third or fourth book in this series. It\u2019s about a captain; this is during the Napoleonic war. It\u2019s a captain named Jack Aubrey, and his surgeon: his name is Stephen Maturin, and it\u2019s a story about their lives.
Collin: That sounds really cool, do you like it?
Savion: I love it; it\u2019s my favorite series. It has 27 books, I think? They\u2019re all about 600 pages, really tiny print!
Collin: Is it an easy series to get into?
Savion: It\u2019s an easy series to get into. It\u2019s not necessarily an easy series to read, though.
Collin: How\u2019d you come across it?
Savion: There\u2019s a movie\u2026 I watched it when I was an itty-bitty boy, and I loved it.
Collin: Who would you recommend it to? What kind of person, what kind of reader?
Savion: Someone who likes really detailed, deep books, with subplots and really long words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
