The Diary of Anne Frank........I think everyone has read this book. It's part of school curriculum or at least it was for me. I've read it in spanish & english (not by choice).


Great Book, i don't enjoy so much reading but this book is intresting enough to keep you going.

On a related topic, I read a review yesterday in the Toronto Sun of someone who wanted to go deeper into the story of Schindler of Schindler's list. He did the research, and everything in the movie proved to be true. His book is out right now. That should make for another interesting read and should give you an insight into the life of this amazing, selfless man."


NO, I've never read it but I take ur word for it. If i ever get the chace to, I will read it. To tell u the truth, I always hear about her but wasn't sure y people talk about her. I just wanted to share becuase I'm sure I'm not the only one that didn't know y she is so well known.

P.S.
By the way that movie Schindler's list is a gr8 movie for any1 that hasn't seen it, I'm sure TV BUff will agree with me on this one and I'm sure the book is just as good.
