Judging a Book by Its Cover or Its Pictures

I found out today that there is a common
reading assignment for school.  By the
way, I have to have it read by Sunday at
10 am.  Stupid.  Well okay, great in theory
but why didn't I know about it? I picked
it up today.  This book just doesn't seem
like a book that college students would
 choose to read.  But I guess that it has
 good theories and morals behind it.  I'm
just struggling to start because it has
pictures in it! I can't remember the last
time that I read a book with pictures.
I better start reading.  Wish me luck!
