One of my fave genres. Dude, we need to chat.

I only really started exploring it this summer when I picked up 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and Lord of the Flies from the library. They hooked me. However, I've discovered that if I read too much of the genre without variety, I get really depressed and cynical. You should have seen me after I'd read those three pretty much non-stop for a week. I didn't like anyone.

Read this but have a box of tissues ready at the end. I cried like a baby.

You're right, she wasn't. She ate five cardinal tetras over her lifetime. Sadly, she went to the great aquarium in the sky this summer, but I got a baby a few weeks ago who's every bit as adorable.
