2nd QUARTER STARTS HERE.....(The Road)

Okay, so the book I'm currently reading, The Road, is INSANE. It's actually disturbing on so many different levels. But still, it's addicting. I don't want to give to much of it away in case you guys read it, but its a definite favorite. The author manages to write in a way so you (the reader) literally lose all hope. It's not a great feeling--I won't lie, but to me it was worth it. It follows the journey of a man and his son as they travel across a post apoctolipotic* world. They travel a sunless, ash ridden planet in constant fear of the other cannibal nomad travelers. Its a fantastic book, one which i'd recommend to anyone up to the challenge.

NEED A BOOK!!!!!

Ok, so i desperately need to find a new book... I finished inkheart this week, and have yet to obtain any new reading material since. I really want to read the road. Im honestly not even sure who its by. I just hear its great. Supposedly it has a real sick distorted apocalyptic theme to it. I really enjoy that type of book. It's horror in my mind. Its much more scary to me then some grotesque slasher. Book that mess with the mind, along with the common fears of people bewilder me. I love them.. I love how one story can make me think more then any movie or actual occurrence. One powerful, well written book can influence and drive people to new heights. Books can scare people, radiate them, hurt them, and about anything els you could imagine. I guess i just love books.

A little rant

I was not good reading this week at all. I was in the hospital and doctors and stuff so i really didn't do much of anything. I'm still in the middle of Inkheart my Cornelia Funke. So to be honest I'm not really sure what to right about. I'm looking into starting this book called The Road... Its supposed to be really intense and creepy. Strangely enough my social studies teacher turned me onto it. Its funny how you discover things from places you wouldn't think held the answer. Its seldom a math teacher has ever taught me anything powerful or creative. Obviously its not their job, but still, its what in my mind makes math so boring. You cant bend it. There's no sense thinking differently or trying to look at it artistically. Its raw. What is there, is there. There's no analysis or intense thought to it. Sorry for this weeks random rant. Ill try to have read more next week. Thanks for sticking with me though.
