    Excellent read, I thought. I felt like i was high when he was high in the book, and low when he was low.
    I agree, it was excellent. It was much better than I thought it would be. Quite entertaining.

    Marc Spitz Nobody Likes You, Inside the turbulent Life and Times of Green Day. An interesting, mostly well read story about the band from my first home town... I spent the first year of my life on Gilman street- of course I like these guys!

    Water for Elephants


    That's the only one of hers that's really good. Her latest, Ape House, is dreadful which is too bad b/c bonobo's are cool but the book is awful. I can't wait to see the movie of Water for Elephants.

    This is good to know. I enjoyed Water for Elephants and since Ape House is now an affordable paperback I thought I would read it...maybe not...

    I just finished The Hunger Games Trilogy and just started To Kill a Mockingbird. I decided that I would read some classics this year, interspersed with the trade fiction.

    I finished "Mockingbird" a few months ago. Really enjoyed it. Didn't remember much of it from high school. :D

    Currently halfway through "A Clash of Kings". Second book in the "Game of Thrones" series.

    Brotherhood of Warriors by Aaron Cohen

    Good read, about some kid of Israel heritage (US citizen) who went to Israel to join the special forces. He makes it to the most prestigious parts of their counter terrorism units. Crazy stuff

    Great book so far. Worth reading if anyone is interested in the environment and the world's future sustainability.

    various authors - darwin's bastards

    it's a collection of canadian post-apocalyptic short stories by many canadian fiction writers. sadly a few of the stories i've read so far are shite, though there have been a couple shining moments. i'm hoping it'll get better as i progress through it.

    Rereading it for the umpteenth time (if you're counting the previous version), 2nd time for the Tiina Nunnely translation. Incredibly rich story.
