Books Read

Monday, July 31, 2006

One thing that I have done in my down time is read. Whether I am in my room/house or at the pool or beach, I typically have a book or my IPOD with me. I don’t know why, but I guess it is nice to read or hear stuff in English. It is weird because there was a span of time that I didn’t read a book for a few years, with the exception of my textbooks that is. I figured I’d jot down what I have read over the past 4 and a half months here. Most were good, but a couple were terrible. I wish they had a Pizza Hut Book It Club here...yet alone a Pizza Hut.
