Welcome to Ms. Conroy's English Class!
We ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? We need the books that affect us like a disaster....
A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us. (Franz Kafka - author of The Metamorphosis)
