If I were to chose one book to read from all the books that were presented in class during this week I would most probably pick Hole in My Life by Jack Gantos. Harout's presentation on this memoir was quite intriguing and convinced me that this book is definitely worth reading. The novel has a great story line and Jack Gantos' character seems very entertaining. Unlike most of the other stories this one was not dark and depressing, and almost had a movie feeling to it. It takes the reader into the mind of a true criminal trying to bring a large amount of hashish from St. Croix into the United States, and through the process of his imprisonment.
From all of the books that were presented this week the one I would be least likely to read would definitely be Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia by Maria Hornbacher because it seems weird and rather frightening. I also feel as if the entire story takes place in several different hospitals which is very depressing, and not so entertaining.
