I'm reading On the Road by Kerouac. I really like it so far. I got the original scroll version, so it's pretty interesting to read the exact train of thought Kerouac had when he was writing it.

Lu, even if you're not caught up on the book discussion, definitely add some of your thoughts anyways I will! I'm almost done with part 2 now.

My Antonia got really depressing and since I am already depressed about Chem and finals I decided I needed slightly cheerier reading! I started The Wicked and I like it A LOT!

I wasn't a very big fan of My Antonia. That's probably because I had to read it for school though
I'm starting Physik by Angie Sage

I gave in and started Atonement last night and broke my no-new-books-until-exams-are-over rule.

That´s a tough rule to abide by! I´m reading the double bind. It´s going very slowly thanks to all my uni reading but I´m determined! I´ve also started 1984 for a class.

Ugh, sounds like a fun week. Good luck with your exam! I´m supposed to study for a linguistics test. If I pass I get to do the exam. All this excitement
