Read A Good Book Lately?

Okay, so it's summer. I read A LOT over the summer. When all my friends are out of town and I'm tired of going to the beach every damn day, I like to pick up a book and read until I finish it.

So if you're reading or just finished a really good book and want to suggest it, post the title and author here. Even a little summary if you want to.

I just finished possibly the best book that I've ever read. It's called Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. I LOVE IT. So great and angsty and romantic. And someone dies. That's usually a plus for me. :D


READING IS FUN! PEOPLE STILL LIKE TO READ! HELP ME PROVE IT!

Okay, not exactly a book, but I just finished reading the new issue of AP. It was good. I laughed so hard at the cover quote.

"22 ISSUE: Celebrate 22 years with 22 lists about 22 things over, um, 30 pages. (Someone's getting fired....)"

Haha, loved it. The article on The Used was good, too. I was a little disappointed when Bert said that Chadam was just a way to get attention off of the personal reasons behind his lyrics. Made me a little angry at stupid Bert.

Oh well. Chadam can kick Bert's ass. He can just headbutt him and Bert would probably die. :D

Oh my god, I know! She's amazing! My friend, Abby, let me borrow Crank after she read it and I got hooked. I was SO sad when I finished Impulse. I want her to write a sequel SO badly! It was SOOOOO great.

She might write a sequel to it since it just came out and such. It seems like their should be one. I can't wait for the one for crank to come out.

I hope she writes a sequel. Impulse just ended too abruptly. It kinda leaves you feeling like it's not over.

Plus, I wanna know what happens with Tony and Vannessa, and (SPOILER IN QUOTE)
at Connor's funeral.

I just sent her a myspace message asking her if shes writing a sequel to it so if she responds and actually says then I'll let you know.
I know it did.
And at the end how she found a perfect paper airplane made me wanna cry that was sad and it just pieced it together perfectly and stuff.

But I need to know what happens next.

Just like for crank I do.

I know! The paper airplane was SOOOOOO sad. I had a break down. I kinda feel like I related to Connor the most, so that part made me feel sad.

I understood why Connor "did it" though. I almost did, too. But, my friends helped me, and actually LG15 forums kind of helped get me out of my depression.

I'm on her myspace and reading her blog and she has a book coming out in 2008 called Identical! She said that its about identical, but very different, twins whose father is obsessed with one of them.
