Apparently, the book Night by Elie Wiesel is required reading material for tenth graders in my school district, despite the fact a good handful of my English class have read it back in elementary school.

It's not a big book -- barely hits 110 pages -- so I managed to read it today, after getting it yesterday (probably would've read it faster, but I had more homework yesterday). I have to say, it's probably the most depressing book I've ever read (and I've read the Series of Unfortunate Events; I know depressing when I see/read it).

It's not so much that it's sad; it's the fact that the atrocities described in the book actually happened in our recent history that's made me down today.
