Shihjen (張世仁), a student in Class 209 who came in second place in last year's Taipei High School English Speech Contest (see http://www.tiec.tp.edu.tw/lifetype/post/1130/33122), emailed me on Jan. 25 a list of some of the books she had read. There are altogether 38 titles on the list, including literature, teenage pleasures, poems, novels, etc. As she mentioned in the mail, her point of listing the books is that reading really matters in language learning. Click on the link, and you can download the list. It's a good reference.

Here I'd like to thank Shihjen for generously sharing the list. It must have taken her quite a long time to recall all these titles. Dear Shihjen, a big hug from me.
P.S. On second thought, I'd like to show the list of the books here in case something is wrong with the link.
Books Shih Jen Chang has read, though she probably wouldn’t remember what they were about, since she read them quite long ago.
