Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

By 2 weeks I have to pick a novel that is fictional, min. of 200 pages, and is appropreate for a catholic school.
Any suggestions or what you picked on your first year of highschool and was successful?
Btw, I'm a slow reader, if it narrows down your list. (link)

Hmmm... hard to go wrong with the classics. "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. "Call of the Wild" or "White Fang by Jack London. "Phantom of the Opera" by Gaston Leroux.
If you're a slow reader, you might want to check out a website called librivox.org. They're doing audio versions of public-domain books (the copyright has expired), free to download and use however you like. All the books I've listed above are there, and there are thousands of others. You may do better listening to the books rather than sitting there reading.
Hope this helps.
