Why New Orleans Matters
In my book club we chose to read the book Why New Orleans Matters by Tom Piazza. At our first meeting we dicussed why we all chose the book and what interested us about it. I chose this book because first off, the cover looked really cool and it caught my eye. Second, after I read the summary of what it was about it seemed really interesting and something I would like reading. Why New Orleans Matters is about the city after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. It tells us about how it grew as a city again and about the culture and traditions that occur there.

This book caught my interest as well. I am interested to learn more about New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. As the years pass, since the disaster, people tend to think that New Orleans is forever ruined economically. The city has indeed grown and it's still a home to many people. I look forward to hearing your group's presentation at the end of the semester!
