I've been doing a lot of reading lately. Reading that is not school work. It's very addicting, only having to read what I want to. I'm on the fifth and final book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. These books are written for kids but are great for big kids like me too. They recently made a movie out of the first one (I haven't seen it yet). I love these books! They remind me a little of Harry Potter, but not quite at that level. (I'm not sure any book will ever been on the same level of Harry Potter but anyways). A lovable, trying to do right hero with a prophecy foisted on him to save the world. All the greek gods are in the stories which makes me wish I had taken that Classical Mythology class this term. But the gods keep showing up in my dreams: Apollo, Hera...even in my dreams I know this is odd.
You know the question: If you could eat lunch with anyone dead, alive, real, fake, etc who would it be? I think I'd pick Athena. She's my favorite; she's wicked smart.
Besides Percy Jackson I just picked up "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott again. If you have not read this book, DO! It's is hilarious! I was reading it in the middle of class (we were on a break) and I kept bursting out laughing. Of course my friend who normally sits with me was traveling with the softball team so I was all alone laughing sporadically. Let's just say no one was sitting near me. Sad. I had just showered too.
I also read Anderson Cooper's memoir. Whoa! Talk about travels and seeing all sides of humanity. Fascinating. I want to meet him. Sit down just talk to him. Hear his stories.

OK. I'm satisfied. And I love that you're reading Anne Lamont. She is so wacky and humble and smart and funny.
Now you need to read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire!!
