“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. ... So if you really want to write (and to be a better writer), start by reading — a lot". Stephen King
Of the books that I have scattered around my classroom, the ones that students gravitate towards are those by Stephen King. We ask our students to write, a lot. Unfortunately, many of our students do not read by choice Students who will not read a one page article for a science class, will gladly read over 1000 pages to finish his book, Under the Dome. Over the years, I have purchased a number of Stephen King's novels from the local Good Will and used book stores, but the books listed here are some I have not been able to find at a reasonable price and selections that students have said they would love to see added to our school library.
