I'm hoping to make it to the library someday soon. For more Audiobooks I presume No I need old fashion print.

Mortified: Real Words. Real People. Real Pathetic. From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. If the only way to heal painful high school memories is to laugh at someone else's painful high school memories, this book can accurately be labeled the antidote. Based on Nadelberg's stage show of the same name, this is a raw, hilarious compendium of real childhood and high school journals, essays and letters, with rueful commentary from their now-adult writers-each of whom deserve applause for their bravery and generosity. Entries enumerate the dumb-founding horror of sexual awakening ("I like him. But I don't know if I like him. But I don't hate him. I don't wanna like him!"), the frustration of feeling different ("I hate Black History Month. It's the one month out of the year when white people feel comfortable to ask me all sorts of strange, inappropriate questions") and the bizarre dreams of adolescence (such as one contributor's Duran Duran fan fiction, which must be read to be believed). Unafraid to delve into sex and drugs, Nadelberg even includes some charming amateur erotica written by a clueless twelve-year-old. Illustrated with great awkward-phase photos, this treasure-chest of confusion and angst will make readers squirm and smile with the realization that, as Nadelberg puts it, "we were all that same strange kid." Really good book so far

There is a used book store going out of business here and they have a 75% off sale going on. We checked it out yesterday and found that they were also selling boxes of books. I bought a box of 110 sci-fi/fantasy books for $35 to put up on Ebay or Half.com.

I haven't read that one....is it good? I finished Sylvia and don't quiet know what I think of it. It was interesting and pretty well written but I think I was looking for something as good as Bryce Courtney's other stuff. Power Of One is just hard to top. So far Cell is pretty good  Some sort of signal that attacks cell phones turns all cell phone owners crazy and only a few are left with their mind intact
