One of my biggest booktalks was done when I was reading in the library. The
network was down - I had a group of students reading in the library, so I thought I
would finish an Alex Rider book -- the one about the clones. Usually a book
starts typing up loose ends by the last chapter, but I read
the very last sentence and couldn't tell if the good or bad guy survived. My
instinctive response was to yell "NO!", and I threw the book across the room!!
Heads popped up, and then hands raised -- can I have that book next? Can I?
However, I usually do not have time to get engrossed in a book like that -- will do
some "spot" reading -- scanning. I take my books home to read and generally fall
asleep with one on my face! Interesting thread!
