April Fools and I am reading...
Nice.
<--- This chick over here did that with the Goosebumps series. Except I read them during school.
I wasn't much interested in math.
The year of my final exams in school I sold all my schoolchild and bought Stephen King novels. I used to read them in class. My teachers would take them off me and I would misbehave so in the end they decided I was quieter when I was left alone with my novels.
You sold all your schoolchild?
Who wants half a schoolchild?
They sell them by the side of the road near my house. The sign says, "Watch for Children". It's a good deal. Gave them a schoolchild and presto. New watch.
I would say that made me laugh quietly inside my head but that would be a lie.
It was audible.
Nice.

A chick with implants would have read Babysitter's Club as a child.
I read The Boxcar Children Series. There's a thread for these kind of posts somewhere.
I'm half way done with Phil's autobio. I really love it. I would have finished reading it had my friend not kidnapped me today.
Maybe we can make the discussion thread earlier. There's no point in waiting until June if there are no other book club constraints any longer. I'll just wait for Alecia to finish it, too, and then I'll start it. Probably next week.
Sounds good.
Nice.

This hurts! Chicks with implants don't read.
...and I on the otherhand, would never need implants. 
Those two books I mentioned earlier, yeah. Still on them. Two at a time slows me down.
But I got Praise of Mtherhood yesterday, couldn't resist starting that too.
Damn. I'm never going to finish anything.
Oops! I'm not going to correct that. It's better the original way.
Finished We Live Inside You yesterday. It was really good. In fact two of the stories, I thought were amazing. Can't wait for the discussion over at LitReactor.
Picked up It Came From Del Rio by Stephen Graham Jones last night. Only read the first few pages, but the damn solid writing sucked me in instantly. I only picked it up because I was undecided on what I wanted to read next.
The Dreamers by Gilbert Adair. One of many books I bought in Dublin last weekend.
Nice.

I was only sassing. Plus I read The Babbysitter's Club books too.
Update on the new Rhys Thomas novel: it's gooooooood! I'm able to forget he's written it and just enjoy it, which is excellent. His publishers will definitely like it. So will others 
That's awesome! Are you allowed to tell us what it's about?
I finished the fifteenth (and last) book of The Arabian Nights and I read a Romanian short novel yesterday.

Yes! In the distant future (300 years apparently) America is over populated, sea levels have risen, the air is polluted and there's no longer enough food to sustain the people. The government have implemented the emergency plan to cull the farm workers and their families using machines that make their skeletons explode. It follows one family who are running from the machines and also the confessions of a terrorist in containment. It looks at what drives men to acts of terrorism and whether it is sometimes a necessary evil against a greater evil.

The Lake by Banananananana Yoshimoto.
I used to work with a girl who was obsessed with that Banana person's books. One day I was at Barnes and Noble, and I saw one of her books in the Bargain Books section. I bought the book for her to be nice. I gave the book to her and then it got really weird, like she took it as me flirting with her. I just thought it was a nice gesture because we talked about books a lot and I saw that one in the bargain section and I knew she hadn't read it. So, the story ends with me just blurting out, "But I've got a girlfriend!" We never really talked after that.

Writings on Art and Literature - Freud. Started reading it yesterday, so it was technically still April.




See, I knew you had it in you!
I miss having more pleasure reading time too. But really, my nook has really helped me get back to reading more. Being able to carry books with me everywhere is awesome. This is one technology I didn't think I would embrace, and then I ended up loving it.
