What IS TAABP?

TAABP stands for The Amazingly Academic Book Project and here is what it is and how it got started.

My sister asked to borrow a specific book and when she did two ideas immediately struck me.

The first being that out of fun (and in all seriousness of holding her to it) I placed a condition that she write a book report about the book in question, the second was that such a thing would be great to post up on here.

So wallah, TAABP was born. The rules that she and I came up with together are in an earlier post so you can find them there.

The thing to keep in mind though is that these reports are not the sort you would turn into a teacher and expect a passing grade, brutality and humor are the goal. Also, while the first round has books that most would consider good to at least some group, the immediate goal this summer is to find the most horrific and absurd books we can and force the other to read and then report on them.

I already have a BMD (Book of Mass Destruction) in mind in case Jess decides to throw down the heavy stuff early on in the project.

Anyways, Jess has been invited to post up on here so you may see her around.
