I went to the library and came across these two self help books that I thought would be interesting reads. I have now come to find out that I'm not as shy as I thought I was based off the of experiences told in the book.



I don't feel like my life sucks but I thought I would read up on this and I like her concept of joyriding through life. I might actually put it into practice when I get into a bad situation.

Have everything by Chuck, just read Choke again, since the movie finally came out. Very pleased by the adaptation -- check it out, definitely.
Are you reading Night for school? That's when I read it -- or at least tried to -- way too depressing for me. Sparknotes got me through it.

Currently
I'm enjoying some Douglas Coupland, JPod, for at least the third time. =)

I've been meaning to check out Palahlniuk for a while now. Surprisingly, for as short of a book as it is, I have not yet ead Night either.

I'm currently taking on this classic whopper of a door stopper:


As well as re-reading this:
