Book #30 The House On Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
My second summer reading list book was assigned to students who also have to read “The Scarlet Letter” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”
It’s quite different than those two as it is a coming of age novel of a young Mexican woman in Chicago that is told in short little literary sketches rather than chapters. It’s quite well written, and I’m definitely happy that I picked this one up. Plus, like all Mexican related things it’s a shorty!
(I’m going to hell for that, aren’t I?)

I loved this book. I accidentally bought it -when I went to buy books for classes, for some reason I thought I had signed up for some teaching literature class, and this book was on the list. I must have been smoking something because I wasn’t signed up for the class, nor did I ever have to take the class in the first place.
But this is a delicious read. And pretty quick!
