Favorite Book Sketches

First class each semester I hand the students a questionnaire. One of the questions asks the students to draw, from memory, the cover of their favorite book of all time. I superimpose the drawings over a photo of a blank book, then show them to the students the following class. There is an educational point to all this, but I have to admit, its partially for my own personal enjoyment.

  1. To Kill a Mockingbird really works for me.

  2. Is 'The Perfume' for Patrick Süskind's Perfume? Or is it another book? It's strange, I don't think I've ever seen it (or any other book) with that cover, but it looks like it would be really great. Nicely drawn too.

  3. I have no idea what version of Perfume that is. I get students from all over the world so who knows what edition they are familiar with.
