Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
I just spent the holiday eating and reading...!
I finished Mortal Engines - a great action adventure story with plenty of good characters and a strange premise for a setting. Can't wait to read the sequel!
My favorite book was The Kiterunner, though. This is a book set in Afghanistan but written by an Afghan-American man who is a wonderful writer, though trained as a medical doctor. Wow. I was really moved by this, but it is definitely "yellow dot."
I've read a couple of other books that didn't thrill me - "godless" by Pete Hautman who also wrote Sweetblood, which I know is a favorite.
It was so enjoyable to spend the day yesterday curled up on the couch with my cat and a really good book!
Seeya on Wednesday...

Hey!

I see you are having a Lord of the Rings Marathon... (grins evilly)
I'll be around then!!! (well, I make sure that I am in duxbury anyways.)
are you going to watch the extended version of the movies? you should because they are cooler than the regular ones. (actually I haven't seen the second or third movies' extended versions, but I assume that they would be cooler. as that is generally how it works.)

so, in english i'm reading As I Lay Dying, by Faulkner. Its really weird and confusing. Unfortunately i won't have much to say about books until thanksgiving break. because all my reading time is still being taken up by books for english.
alas.

I saw the picture on the website, too. that's from Salem correct? I wish i could have come. Salem is cool. but 'tis done.
I think that my sister is going to eat my soul. I stopped writing my really long story... (a while ago) alas.

Ida, keep writing the story on your blog!!!!!!!!!! Its really cool!!!!!!
*Must Read More!!!*

see ya!

(i hope i selled that right, and i apologize if i did not.)

so...
tomorrow is election day... should be interesting...

i'm hoping that sometime during my thanksgiving break, there exists a wednesday that i will be able to randomly attend book group... (evil laughter)
