The Nine Billion Names of Margaret

THE NINE BILLION NAMES OF GOD (and RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA) by Arthur C. Clarke /

ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET. by Judy Blume

Fellow "pleasures to have in class," join us this week for Toby's rollercoaster of a review plus a short journey through Bailey's puberty. First, Toby surprises us all with a review of the film ARMAGEDDON...oh wait, we mean the sci-fi classic RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA by Arthur C. Clarke! Then, Bailey tries to relate to an eleven-year-old when she finally reads the seminal coming of age novel ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET. We have time to share our non-book-buying shame, to give ourselves report card comments, and to play a game identifying all the Daisys...oh wait, we mean Margarets!
