Hey hey hey! This is your friendly neighbourhood broadcaster bringing you the latest NEWS on what's hot, what's not, and what book you should read as soon as possible.
Alright, people, this is Tereza, posting my first post ever on the YJC ELDDS blog, due to a fantastic turn of events that are epic, mind-boggling and totally not going to be elaborated on.
ELDDS is organizing a Reading Circle for the school, and the very first book that we are doing is The White Tiger, by Aravind Adiga. Everybody should know about this, because Sam and Atiqah did a cool announcement that took nerve, effort and about three buckets of creativity. So if you don't know about it... -narrows eyes-
Moving on, I shall enlighten everyone about the details pertaining to the Reading Circle and The White Tiger.
The Reading Circle is a spanking new event organized by us, the YJC ELDDS. Do you love to read? So do we! And we have this book to share with you;
The White Tiger by
Aravind Adiga.
The book review can be found here:
http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/02/120029.phpMany people probably won't have the book, and therefore we have found the e-book for YOUR convenience. (because we are just that awesome. Thank you, Joanna!) :
http://dl1.s24.ifile.it/5cau92q0/the_white_tiger_by_aravind_adiga.pdfIn the Reading Circle, we will be discussing the book and the issues that are brought up in it, which include poverty, corruption, rise of world powers, etcetera. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you try to read the book beforehand, yes? :) In addition, one would be honing their GP skills by partaking in intellectual discussion on such world-class topics.
The essential details are as follows:
The date and time of the Reading Circle is
20/4/2009, 5.10pm-6.40pm.
There will be
refreshments provided.
Also,
prizes await the winners of the Read and Express competition organized in conjunction with the Reading Circle. Please read on for more information.
The Read and Express competition is a competition where students can
express their views and opinions on the book, thus the name. Entries can be in any literary form, including, but not limited to,
introspective writing and poetry, not exceeding
100 words and
A4 sized paper. Entries can be submitted into the lovely spiffed up box which is strategically placed at the reading corner at the Wednesday Expresso. If you know the name of the book, you can't miss it.
So, what are you waiting for? Come down and join us for the Reading Circle!

That aside, the next book in the line for the second Reading Circle session would be Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I have attached the book for your reading purposes, so that you wouldn't buy a new book if you don't want to (although it really is a worthwhile investment). It's 126 pages long, so that isn't too bad. Please start reading it. The dates et cetera on the next session would be announced soon enough.
