Favorite Piece of Literature

Over the winter break, we were assigned to read an autobiography or memoir. All students presented their book in a short manner but that time was enough for me to figure out which book I would enjoy reading and which book I would not want to read. Lucky by Alice Sebold is the book I would most likely read because it is similar to Fat Girl by Judith Moore and it is about a young girl's unfortunate life. I prefer sad books because it grabs my attention and urges me to read more. Lucky by Alice Sebold falls into that category because it seemed like a book where the reader can analyze one's life and reasons to why they are a certain way. This particular book is about a rape victim and her family and I would most likely read this because I do not know what it is like to be a rape victim fortunately, therefore it is interesting to read about their thoughts. The book that I am least likely to read is Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. As I mentioned earlier, I enjoy sad books and this book is nowhere near that category. Pieces that have no action tend to bore me and in my opinion Into Thin Air did not have an interesting moral or meaning. This specific memoir described how a group of men climbed a mountain and reading an entire book on a journey to the top of a mountain would not have my attention.
