WOW, you read this in an academic setting already?! That was fast... I personally think it was nothing special, but it's a very fashionable book right now, I guess...


I'm reading Jarhead by Anthony Swafford. Anyone who wants to know how this Gulf War will come out and what really goes on in the minds of the US Marines behind the mucho bullcrap should read it. Excellent book.

Really? I'd never heard of it until English class. Guess that says a lot for how much extracurricular reading I do

I'm trying to convince my teacher to do a unit on Valley of the Dolls...should make for an interesting English class.

Re-reading Fight Club by Chuck Palanhuik. I thought it was a load of pretentious po-mo crap the first time I read it and put it down half way through, but the film has inspired me to read it again...
