Book Reviews - Please Check

Class, I lost my notes on the movie and book reviews when I went to San Antonio. I left them in one of the classrooms....I'm sure they are gone by now. Can you please review this list and post your name and book so we can update? If you don't have a book yet, please choose one....it will be first-call, first-served basis from now on for these booka and the book must be a book on this list.....the time of your posting will be used as a guide for this. As soon as the list is complete and every one has a book you will get the format for the assignment.
