I loved 1984... though I don't think I have read Brave New world... not sure though.. I have read enough books that I can't keep track of what I have and haven't read.

However I think someone else in my genre fiction class(45 mins of reading every day.. can't beat a class like that(each class is only 45 mins here)) selected it.. and since we are supposed to read different books.. yeah. Anyways I just read the foundation series for those days.

Old Yeller(4th or 5th I htink) I liked, and as you said egypt game is a good book(6th grade).
