WANT. HUNGER GAMES. NOWWWWWW. I love Battle Royale and this also sounds a bit like The Giver? Unless I'm mistaken? It sounds awesome! Yes, TEABS is a common syndrome in my daily life. You couldn't have described it more perfectly. I suffer it at least quarterly. Well, I read this first book a long time ago but I kept wanting to book club it! The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. The language in that book is BANANAS. It's fun and flighty and pure unadulterated quirk. I'm currently reading 3 different books: Pride & Prejudice & Zombies for blog/hilarity reasons, The Artist's Way for working-on-my-"craft" reasons, and Sweethearts for Sarah-loans-me-awesome-YA-books reasons! Isn’t My So-Called Life the My So-Called Life of the YA world?

This is a safe place to say: I still read the Bluebonnet Books every year!

Being the grown-up I am now supposed to be, I thought I would try reading those Hemingways I never got to. Time to not be so grown-up! Although, I must say, Hem is all he's cracked up to be. Thank you Sarah!

My reading is currently confined to old Japanese newspapers, which is a pity as I have just gotten sick myself. I might try and pick something up in the next couple of days just to fit in though! The last book I read (or at least mostly read) was Blowback by Chalmers Johnson. It's an interesting take on the concept of 'American empire', though to be honest he goes a little too far in one direction for my taste. Three pants, but barely. I need to read more fiction though. In writing for my own blog today, I was looking for the trailer for the Sam Rockwell movie 'Moon' on youtube. Instead, I came across numerous fanmade trailers for 'New Moon', the next Twilight movie. Man, I wish the insanity of that film translated into the books. I’ve heard of Hunger Games, and it’s been all over Twitter (my, we’re just so WITH it!).

The first one seems pretty interesting, but the second two seem pretty travelling pants-ish (no pun intended). I prefer my pants to stay in my personal vicinity. BTW, I know I'm the one who sent you the link, but I LOVE THAT SOUND OF MUSIC VIDEO, TOO. I wish I could have been there. I'm not sure what I would have done, but I wish I could have been there.

Thanks for the great book suggestions!! :) I love new reading material, and I TOTALLY know what you mean...I actually am suffering a case of the TEABS right now! I read a diary of a first year inner-city teacher in Chicago, and it was AMAZING!! You should read it. I think you would fall in love with her too, just like I did! It's called "Educating Esme" by Esme Raji Codell. I did not want it to end. Oh, and I am also interested in Mandi Moore, but I have been for like 10 years now. Remember "Nothing but pennies in my pockets, nothing but faith to keep me warm. But baby, I'd be lost without it, tell me how much for your love!"??? haha, I already watched the video for I Can Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week. Loved it. YES!
