Ok, ...

Ok, I think its time for me to go along with everyone else and put one of these in my journal.NUMBER OF BOOKS I OWN:Many! Though most of them are historical books dealing with the Civil War, World War I or World War II.LAST BOOK I BOUGHT:Probably a text book for my classes. Though for my birthday I got books from my Grandmother.LAST BOOK I READ:"102 Minutes" it was about the story of the Twin Towers. Telling about the people inside of them and what happened after the planes struck them on 9/11. It was a very good book, sad though.FIVE BOOKS THAT MEAN A LOT TO ME:1. Killer Angels (Micheal Shaara): This was the book that got me interested in Gettysburg and wanting to be in a career with history. I read it in 5th Grade and I've read it numerous times since. It's perhaps the greatest book I've ever read.2. Gods and Generals (Jeff Shaara): This is the prequel to Killer Angels. It tells the first two years of the Civil War and follows Stonewall Jackson on his campaigns. It gives a different side to the soldiers and is an excellent read as well.3. The Last Full Measure (Jeff Shaara): This is the end of the Civil War and tells what happens after Gettysburg. It shows the decline of the South and what General Grant and Lee go through throughout the remaining years and Appomattox. It isn't as good as the other two, but it still is an excellent read.4. Lord of the Rings Trilogy (J.R.R. Tolkien): What more can I say about these books? They are perhaps the greatest ones I have ever read and Tolkien has a great way of bringing all the characters and story to life. I was sad to see the Trilogy end because it was such a great read.5. Red Badge of Courage (Stephan Crane): Lol yes another Civil War book. Though I have many friends who thought this book was horrible, I thought it was excellent. It gave a look into the life of a soldier and how they would relate to one another. Of course I have many more I love, but I can only list five. So there ya go everybody!
