1. Holes - Louis Sachar
2. City of Ember - Jeanne DuPrau
3. The Statute of Liberty - Geoffrey Robertson
4. Animal Farm - George Orwell

5. Extraordinary Evil: A Brief History of Genocide - Barbara Coloroso <-----ended up hating this book. I somehow got the impression that the author would label me as one who encourages genocide because I didn't agree with her logic on a number of issues. :? I think I could rant for a while on this, but I won't right now.

6. Thomas Paine's Rights of Man - Christopher Hitchens
