Dual Book Recommendations

I believe that the two books I read over the Summer Break should remain as Summer Books and not be adapted into the curriculum of the 11th grade English 3 Honors class. I feel that while the books are good they don’t really fit into the curriculum and would clog up space for other books that would be better placed in it. Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, while being a good book, isn’t a good choice to be read by the whole class. It is crazy and is at times hard to follow because of the unique writing style of Mr. Wolff. It’d be better to stray away from it and let only those who are willing to endure it read it. On the other hand One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, is a good book and easier to follow, just I don’t see much of a reason for it to be included especially if it’s pair isn’t. It doesn’t show as much about Americanculture as I feel other books that could be in those slots would and that it works better as a book that’s a choice with its partner book.
