...at NPR.

The books were picked by author Garret Freymann-Weyr, who has a cautious relationship with YA as a genre.  And who also, by the way, writes excellent books.

Now I want to read Great Expectations for the Big Read VI.

I love what he wrote about "Great Expectations"! I get so out of temper -- I shouldn't, but I do -- with all those people who whine about being "forced to read Dickens." "Waaaah, my teachers MADE ME READ GREAT LITERATURE and it scarred me forever!! How DARE they!" Yeah, cry me a river. There are little kids in Africa who don't even have books.

And yes, you totally should do "GE" for a big read! :-)
