01/9/10 - Deadline

1.  Deadline - Chris Crutcher

I should say a lot about this book.  But not now.  I tried but everything's fragmented, and not only do the ideas not tie together, they're not complete.  And though I'm writing these for myself, I still can't stand fragmentation.

(Plus, the last few responses have been hella long.  Brevity'll break it up a bit.)

All I will say is this: if it were required that all high school freshman read one book, this would be it.  I realize that's a pretty fascist idea for someone who registered as a socialist in college, but I truly believe it.  Now's the time when I justify why, but we'll have to come back to that later.

For now, just get the book.
