Regular Sophomore English NEW BOOK

It's that time -- AGAIN! You need to choose a new book, and you have
until April 7th (for A Days) & April 8th (for B Days) to choose. Here's the scoop for 4th quarter...
You need to choose a book that
  • Is on a 10th grade to adult reading level
  • Has a good, 300+ pages, standard sized (not plus sized) font
  • Is published by a reputable, normal publishing house
  • Is interesting to you (you MUST be the intended audience for this book)
  • Is new to you (you can NOT have read it before; you may NOT have reported on it before)
  • You MUST choose a FICTION novel.
  • NO short story compilations.
Here's the catch:
Your book must be chosen by industry standard. It needs to be an Industry Standard Bestseller.
The book you choose must be written by an award winning author, and the book must be enormously popular. It needs to have appeared on best selling lists, and it needs to be considered by many people a "hit."
How do you find a book like this?
What will you turn in?
Your book must be physically present in class for you to receive credit. I also wish to see a print out of the first page from Amazon.com showing the reviews and the reading level of the book. It will also have the publishing/copyright information of the book. You will turn in the Amazon.com page with your book write April 7/8. The book write information will be handed out to you in class next time (Wednesday, March 29th).
