It's Sunday afternoon, the in-laws are in town, and I just got up from my post-work/church Sunday nap. I really have nothing in particular to write about. I finished Brave New World at work last night, and it was wonderful. I'm not quite sure what to say about it. I don't think that book will ever be irrelevant. I'm glad I didn't read it in school, because I probably wouldn't have. I'm a terrible student.
And speaking of banned books, Banned Books Week is coming up at the end or September. I'll be honest, I didn't know that until 2 minutes ago. Here's the webpage for it. So commit a bit of social disobedience and read one. But something other than Harry Potter. The Goosebumps books are on the list too and even How to Eat Fried Worms. I don't get why people want to censor books. I understand the power that they hold, but how far are people from Nazis when they call Harry Potter evil. It's really just one small step from book burning.
Anyways, this is all making me very upset, I need my soma.
