Outside Reading Post 1

The book I have chosen to read for outside reading this quarter is called All Quiet on the Western Front. I chose to read this because it is about war and I have heard that it has a lot of action in it. Now I need a book that will make me want to keep reading and a book that I wont want to set down. I also chose this book because my mom told me she had read it when she was my age. She said that she loved it and reccomended that I read it if I wanted a good book. I am really excited about reading this book because it is something new and by an author I have never heard of; Erich Maria Remarque. All Quiet on the Western Front is a book about a German World War I veteran telling about the horrors of war and the detacthment soldiers felt after returning to Germany. This book sounds really great because it is told from a german soldiers point of view. This pov will provide a whole new look at WWI and I believe it can enlighten me on looking at the war in a whole new way and will let me see the Germans side of things. I am really looking forward to reading this book and I dont think I will be dissapointed.
