Teen fiction

I've realized that I cannot stand to read books about girls.

They dumb us down so much in literature (at least what is being put out right now) and it disgusts me. Even my beloved Georgia Nicolson is so blinded by the thought of boys, that she hardly thinks of anything else. Maybe I'm being too harsh because most of these girls are in the young teens where they are (kind of) supposed to be drooling over males and thinking that they are the center of the universe, but I don't doubt that I'm on to something. One glance in the teen section, and I lose multiple brain cells (as well as my cookies).

What sucks, though, is that I'm going through a teen fiction phase. Only the books I've been reading star an idiotic love-struck buffoon (Youth in Revolt) or a chemically imbalanced high-schooler that ends up on the adult floor of a psychiatric ward (It's Kind of a Funny Story).

Now I'm going to read Catcher in the Rye (for the first time, yes). I don't think that I've ever read this much in a year and it's only at a lousy 15 books so far.



Today:

Is my 5th day off from work

My knee is the ugliest that it's been, but I think that it may feel a tiny bit better

I'm going to go sell my old school books back to the college and hopefully get a nice amount of money for them

I need to do laundry

Andddd I got a Wombats ringtone!
