I also like this lesson plan. I have 20 books by non-American authors for
students in our sophomore level World Literature & Composition classes. As
I am at a high school level, I really lay on the dating metaphors thick, to
many giggles. How do you get to know a book? Who will be the hot book in
the room? Which book do you want to hang out with on a Friday night?

I tell my students the way to get first dibs on the book you want is to be
the first to share (when class reconvenes) which one you liked and why.
