Bookworm...

Howdy!  Long time no chat on either bloggy but I wanted to quick post an update of the books I've been reading.  I'm an English Lit major which is truly the best cuz I just sit around and read all day.  YES!  The reason I haven't posted in a bit is because I was considering quitting the internet (facebook, bloglovin, blogging, yahoo, EVERYTHING) but then I read a few books that weren't required for school and felt productive enough to not quit the internet quite yet.  I think it's a little too easy for me to stare at my computer all day and miss all the great opportunities of going out, talking to people face-to-face, getting some sunshine and reading books in real life.... SO, my goal is to do all of those things first and have my interweb time come second.

This books was pretty heart wrenching.  It was one of those reads that pissed me off in a good way for its bitter truth.  I'm a firm believed that good art moves people in any form and my getting pissed off is a tell-tale sign of that artistry.  It was perhaps a little too politically driven for my liking but such a quick read I hardly noticed.  I'll give it a 7/10.

I have only just begun this collection of short ghost stories Roald Dahl collected from 15 different authors but I'm already bored.  I think I would be more into the stories if I hadn't first read Dahl's introduction where he boasts of reading 700+ ghost stories and finally collecting the best of the best.  None have moved me to raise an eyebrow thus far so I wish I would have skipped Dahl's hype and appreciated the stories for what they are: mildly amusing words on paper.  I'll give it a 2/10.

HAPPY READING!

Also, last night I went out to Vine St. and Thinman with Kelsey, Ashley, Kyle, Alex, Jeremiah, Spencer, Dane and Laura and it was quite fun indeed.  I guess Kyle and I had a "Lip-gloss Off" that Jeremiah says was quite amusing as well.  Good people.
