So I plodding though most of Food, Girls and Other Things I Can't Have, I kinda like it. It seemed a little conversational to me after reading the last well-written book, Jude (btw, I lent that one to a friend at the Lake and she LOVED it!) But this other book is just a different style and I had to talk myself into continuing on with this book after page 10. Glad I did. Maybe it's the fact that the main character is a boy--and he's the opposite of me. Or maybe it's because I know what he's thinking all the time--and he has weird, boy thoughts (which I don't necessarily want to know).
It's gotten better and now that the main character has shown some growth (become more normal)--I kinda want to know what happens to him in the end. It's been slow going on the reading since I've been on vacation for 10 days without a lot of time to read. Even though it's midnight now, I'm anxious to go to bed and read for a while.
I look forward to going to see what book to read next. I plan on going to the library as soon as I get home from the Lake this week. A good book is perfect for a super-hot day...you can get all snuggled in--in the air conditioning.
What are you reading that's good??? Are you accomplishing your summer reading assignment?
Garrett is reading this right now and seems to like it. I hope he finishes today so I can read it before it is due.
