Damn this wordiness that I've been cursed with.
I am completely demoralized. Stupid essays, stupid deadlines.
Although, overall, they aren't 'really' important, you can see I had to qualify 'important.' Because really (no quotation marks) they are.
2 days and counting.

I'd forgotten that I was supposed to post my opinion of my book club books on here. Luckily I remembered, just in time to avoid studying....
Our last pick was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon, and I did not enjoy it. I read it because several people had recommended it. While I understand that the writing style is because the narrator is an autistic kid, I just didn't enjoy a book written that way - though it certainly made it a quick read. I also found that I was totally indifferent to the story until about 3/4 of the way through with all the drama about his mother. But then...just as I was starting to like it, it ended. Very abruptly in my opinion.
The rest of the book club liked it for various reasons. One girl really liked it because a friend of her family has a kid that was just diagnosed with autism and she thought the book was revealing. But to be honest, the book is so simple that we really didn't have much discussion about it. (yeah, yeah Maxie...I know you told me so)
Our next book is Middle sex (can't remember the author right now) recommended to me by my future sister-in-law, about a hermaphrodite....I'll let you knwo how that one is.
Eileen...have you forgotten how to make a new post? If so I'll email you the instructions...just in case ppl miss your posts in the comments sections.
