__Picoult, Jodi (2010). //House Rules//.New York, NY:Atria Books__ The novel House Rules would be the book I use for personal use. I enjoy reading Jodi Picoult books because she wants you to ask some questions of yourself. She wants people to wrestle with some kind of ethical dilemma. She doesn't expect you to have the answer nor does she have the answer but what she wants is for you to be able to weigh all different sides of the issue. She has written about topics such as school violence, gay rights, Asperger’s Syndrome, and a variety of ethically charged medical and legal issues.

I have read many of Jodi Picoults books and thoroughly enjoy reading her work. I firmly believe that each and every person should find some time each day (even if only 10-15 minutes) to read. I find reading to be a wonderful way to wind down from the day.
