Book Tweets

Twitter forces its users to share their ideas in 140 characters (letters, punctuation marks and spaces) or less.  It's based on the idea that "less is more."  Sometimes it is easier for us to talk on and on and on about our thinking than to simplify it to just a few words.  


Practice choosing your words carefully.  In the comments, "tweet" a summary of your book.  It needs to be short and to the point, but still give us a good idea of the book's meaning.


Check back to comment on other's ideas.

Goosebumps to me is not a very good book, but the way you wrote it, it makes it seem kind of funny and I might want to read it one day myself.
