by CHUCK PALAHNIUK

one of my fav authors. got two books

RANT
the craziest, nastiest, confusingest, scariest, weirdest book ever. funny too, but like dark and creepy and... so good. it's like a biography, but not about a real person. or we don't think he's real because we can't remember him. and Party Crashing, basically a game where you crash your car into other players. and Rant (Buster Casey) can like taste and smell real good its real creepy. read this book defff it should be at the top of your list


CHOKE
also very good. i didn't like it as much as Rant, but it's still very funny and weird. Palahniuk writes some crazy stuff (Diary from last summer). so it's about a sex addict and his issues and his crazy mother. like man i thought my mom was crazy but his is like really out there. Choke is a movie too but it's rated R so i can't see it. oh yeah, the guy pretends to choke on food in restaurants so people save him then they feel bad for him forever so they send him cards with money. that's how he pays for his mom's med bills and stuff. it's messed up

i'm waiting on Fight Club

booooooks

uh i don't want to do pictures i'm too lazy. but i got... three books?

A LITTLE PRINCESS
actually a pretty good book. i did not want to read this at all but i did and it was good. kind of slow in the middle area, i kinda took a break for like... two books in there... but the end was real good, kinda hard to believe though but hey, it's a kids book. i should watch the movie now

LOST IT
about a girl that loses it you know... v-card... and she's pretty funny so i liked it because being in her head wasn't annoying. and her life was like totally crazy and her parents joined a cult and her best friend build a bomb to blow up a poodle. real funny stuff ha.

BOGUS TO BUBBLY (insiders' guide to uglies, pretties, specials, extras)
kind of a weird book to like read but it was good. if you don't like love the series then don't read this because you won't care AT ALL about what he's saying. but it's like the history of the cities and stuff. the part about hoverboards got kinda lame but whatevs. it was a fast read too, like one night.

i'm reading a lot over break so yeah.

FADE!

LISA MCMANN
YAY! finally got it yesterday and i finished it in a few hours. i've started again but sister is reading it so she stole it from me!
awwww mah god i loves these books! fade was just as good as, if not better than, wake. written just as beautifully, funny, sad.
this book made me really sad. like i didn't want to talk to people for a while sad. of course i did talk, but i was still sad. and the beginning, which wasn't even a sad part, made me sad. cuz it's just so hard for janie and cabel. and i don't want it to be. they need it to be good, easy, and it's not. so seriously i almost cried and nothing really sad happened.
and oooo la la dirty part! just saying. but it wasn't written like nasty nasty, it was sweet.
i was twittering while i read this and i'm sure i got annoying. but it was only for the good parts! pages 102 and 203 made me pee, for very different reasons. 100 pages separate the happiest part and the saddest part.
and the end was happy, but still sad. bittersweet. so now i'm an emotional wreck because i don't know what to think or feel about this book and why do i like books? they just make me sad.
and now i've decided that this trilogy is like nancy drew only better. cuz cabe's prolly wayyy hotter than those Hardy boys.
now i can't wait for Gone. dad says no countdown on the chalkboard for a year. we'll see about that.
thank you lisa mcmann for this trilogy, come to milwaukee please!

NIGHT

ELIE WIESEL
second time i've read this. it's very good. and sad. but i like said books. and it's actually written very well, which i didn't appreciate a few years ago when we read it in school. it was also much shorter than i remembered and only took me a weekend to read.
so yeah, it's a classic, everyone should or already has read Night.
ps. tis about the holocaust if you didn't know.

nothin much to say but i feel i should check in every once in a while and not just when i've got to write about a book.
and since i have tons of homework to do, now seems like the perfect time!
sister is learning pi. she wants to cream the 7th graders who are calling her stupid. imma gonna beat those kids up as soon as i can find some strong kids to come help me.
still waiting on Fade but it's so close i can taste it!
yummmm

two little kid books

THE WESTING GAME
ELLEN RASKIN
so apparently everyone reads this in 5th grade but i obvi did not get the memo. i actually reallly liked this book! it was a mystery and it was totallly confusing so i don't know how you could read it and understand if you're not smart and old like me. and i kept trying to guess it and i was totally wrong. shows how much i know. that turtle girl is a genius.

MIXED MESSAGES
JAHNNA N. MALCOM
really? really? this book is like the most trivial thing ever. it counts for nothing in this world. it was stilly okay, about falling for the good not-as-popular guy, but still. the best part was that she played the guitar. man i should learn that. this book was really fast too. and now i'm supposed to read the other books in this LOVE LETTERS series. fine i will whatever.

i've read 7 books this year! and they're mostly short...
sorry it's been so long since my last post

congrats lisa mcmann

on fade finally coming out!
!!!
i cant believe that i started my countdown on my blackboard like 291 days ago. it's just crazy.
i'm waiting for the library, because i don't buy hardcover.
sorry, i'll buy paperback though, just like wake.

i'm number 8 in line for fade! who else puts a book on hold in OCTOBER besides me?!!!
crazy people!

so yeah, i'm waiting. and i'm getting upset. but i've waited almost 300 days, i can wait like... 3 more.... more than 3 though, i make no promises.

xo

the hair i want

and then i can dye the blonde purple!!!

yeah?

BREAKING DAWN

STEPHANIE MEYER
final book! and i'm still team jacob.
dude this book is like epicly long! and, not to give anything away but, it's written as like 3 books from diff perspectives, so that makes it seem longerrrr. like the first part seems like a totally different SERIES than the end. it's crazy.
and i almost did change from team jacob. i was ticked at him. but i'm still on his side. even if he doesn't need me to be... you'll just have to read it.
there is of course, susspense and drama and the love story. and some really good blonde jokes. like really good. i lol'd.
and it really did tie up all the loose ends, which was good. but there was a lot of them.
idk if this is my fav. i think it goes
eclipse
breaking dawn
new moon
twilight

now i'm done!

controversial post because apparently that's all that gets comments these days

which came first:::

god then humans
or
humans then god
???

think about it.

i think humans came first. i don't believe in god. which i was just gonna post and say "i don't believe in god, discuss" but i thought i would add more. i think humans just needed there to be a reason for our exsistance, so they created god, the almighty guy, because not knowing is too scary to admit. i'm all for evolution. did you know they have museums that totally bash evolution and are all about like adam and eve and it's whole MUSEUMS! crazy christians.

discuss.

HACKING HARVARD

ROBBIN WASSERMAN
this book made me reallllyyyy scared for college. not gonna lie. do you know how hard it is to get in?!!!?? extremely. very. exponentially. hard.
so that's why you need to hack and get yourself in. it's only sensible.
this book was funny too, because the characters were smart, but funny. so it was funny in a smart way, which i like. does that make sense?
and i also learned about jewishness and i also decided that i don't believe in god because of this book, but that's another post.
so yeah, this was a big book for me.

long update

hey hey! sorry i haven't blogged in like weeks. this post will prolly be long so skim if you like.
and i have a book to do later too. in this post i guess.
i've decided my new year's resolution is only 50 books. 100 is too many. tyleroakley's resolution is 50 books too. we're like one.
i got my ears pierced exactly 2 weeks ago. i was a baby. big baby. squeeeeezed the teddy bears head till i thought it would pop off. oh! i should go clean these suckers right now... but i'm not gonna... they don't really hurt anymore, so i won't complain.
american idol started a couple weeks ago! i already have my pick, and i don't think they're done with auditions. his name is adam, he's from... san fransisco i think. he's like a theater singer. he's soooo funny. he's probably gay, he said he was going to take kara's ring home with him in his teeth when he kissed her hand. but he said "i'm not scurrred" which i totally say scurred so i love him. just not when he sings... he sounds a lot like clay aiken i think. whatever, he's my pick.
how was christmas? i guess mine was good, pretty good haul. imma show my present from "M" because it's soo good. remember last year's project runway picture?
this year it's the maine. how amazing is that? it says "girls do what they want, boys to what they can" on the top. from left: kennedy, jared, john ohh, pat (on drums) and garret. oh it's so great. it's sitting right next to my baby fishtank that i also got for christmas.
oh, and no one bought me WAKE for christmas, so i had to buy it myself. but i did get perks of being a wallflower, and the catcher in the rye. so all's good. 16 days to FADE, i'm peeing
i'm STILL waiting for breaking dawn. i can't handle it anymore. i'm number 2 in the queue line. but still. that just makes me want it more.
now time for a book
ZIPPED by LAURA and TOM MCNEAL

they're married and they write books together. how cute. this book took me forever to read, partly because i was busy with school after break, and partly because it was boring.
it was okay... about a boy who finds out his stepmother is having an affair so he tries to find out who it is so he can like kill the man. and then the kid's crush, who's mormon and has a crush on her pastor or something. and this college girl who starts hanging out with our hero. oh, and this neighborhood has this rash of break ins. oh and there's this creepy guy Maurice. it's weird. they tell the story from a lot of different views, which i kind of like, but i think it took too long. idk
there! i updated!
comment please!

andy is leaving 5awesome gays
zomg
and i mean, he was always my least favorite, but it's still kinda sad.
yes, i still do watch them. but usually not till like wednesday, so i have to catch up so yesterday i watched monday nnd he was just like "this is my last day".
kinda sad
now they need a new one. just like before when greg left. i'm not as choked up about andy leaving as i was about greg. i loved greg.

ZOMG and stevie and joe moved in together! they're dating and all that, and now thye just moved to like philly or something... idk. they have a crasy colored couch. i want it

resolution

what if my new year's resolution was to read
100 books in 2008
???
do you think i could do it?

2 down!

ECLIPSE

STEPHANIE MEYER

book number 3.

this is deffinately the best out of the three so far. didn't really like the others. i really liked this book. but now that i think of it... parts weren't great, the ending was the BEST. but actually... no i take that back the whole thing was really good.

and sooooo saddddd.

it's more about bella's choice between edward and jacob, now that edward came back, but bella is best friends with jacob now. and jake loves her, and... gahhh. it's really too much.

and i like LOL'd for some parts in this book, but i can't remember when, but I thought it was funny.

i used to not think much of Jacob Black, now i'm totally team jacob.

totally and completely.

i got this the day i wrote for new moon, so i checked the day before and i was 81 in line. does that llist really mean anything? i'm waiting for breaking dawn now. i checked yesterday (41).

i hear breaking dawn is gonna be crazy. don't read a book summary of it like i did, it'll ruin it.

godddd, why can't bella just.... no, i won't tell you. but seriously!

BLACK RABBIT SUMMER

KEVIN BROOKS
i love this book. i love it.

if you were to never ever read anything i suggested except for one thing, read this one.

did that make sense? why is it double spacing? i didn't do that...

it's in england too! the setting of this book, i mean. which means they talk cool. and say Mum. and the main character is Pete (officially like that name, not Peter, just Pete) and we get in his head and it's crazy. reminded me a bit of Catcher in the Rye, which then some1 compared the author or J.D. Salinger (catcher in the rye) so i felt validated.

and there's Nicole (who goes by NIC, see??!) and Pauly (who is wayyy more messed up than they tell us at first) and Eric (gay. manno) and even Wes (manno) and then Raymond. and raymond talks to his pet bunny. who he just calls Black Rabbit. and when his first one died he bought another black rabbit and called it the same thing and he thinks they're all just the same. and it talks to him.

and a girl goes missing and a big mystery unfolds. so it's a mystery book, but the first quarter really isn't. black rabbit summer is sad, and funny, and smart, and scary, and drunk...

READ THIS BOOK, IT ROCKS SOCKS

the game of scattergories

i love that game! it is sooo much fun!
and i always dominate! i'm soo good at it! 83 points! which isn't really that much, but considering i had like 1 and 2 points for a couple of the harder rounds, i did well.
got 9 a coupla times!

so we had the letter T, and the list said 'stones/gems'
so i had to think...
then when we were going around the circle to share our answers...
me and sister at the same time said
"topaz, like edward's eyes!" in the same high girly voices and totally in sync.

IT WAS CRAZY
this is the affect that twilight has on my life
so now we say it all the time, sometimes without even prompting it, we just say it
it's like telepathy and we're not even twins!
