I have a Spanish test tomorrow. We're learning the vocabulary that you would use in a restaurant and some facts about Ecuador. (I've been wondering about whether or not they're actually true or not. I guess that's a question for Uncle Darwin. :)

So, are there any good books out there? I'm in need of some suggestions. In Language Arts we just finished reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. It was really eye-opening to read a book demonstrating totalitarianism. It really made me take a wider view of what can happen if we just turn away from what's happening or not being prepared for what is going on all around us.
