Couldn't Keep This One to Myself

Back from the beach, and got hardly any reading at all done, although I am about a hundred pages into a Kurt Vonnegut book, 'The Sirens of Titan.' Since Vonnegut's death earlier this year, I decided to read more of his work.

 

But I spent pretty much all weekend fixated by an amazing book,
'Couldn't Keep It to Myself: Wally Lamb and the Women of York Correctional Institution.' Wally Lamb is a well-known author who wrote one of my favorite books ever, 'She's Come Undone,' but he also is a volunteer teacher at a women's prison in Connecticut. He compiled this book of his students' writing which will help you drop whatever preconceived notions you might have about prison and its inhabitants. These stories are heart-breaking, astoundingly well-written and simply amazing. Check this one out!

I started reading Sirens of Titan. My dad LOVES the Kurt Vonnegut books, so he told me I should read some of them. They are really cool!

I think harry will kill Voldemort and will date hermione and ron will date fluore decore from the Goblet of fire and then all get teaching jobs and snape will die(hate snape)! I like the 5th movie by the way i mean they had to keep under a certian amout of hours  and they did hurry for them!

I still can't believe that there is no more Harry Potter . I still think J.K is going to come out with a new book and surprise us.I'm like going crazy Harry Potter was like the only book that kept me from sleeping at night.At least the movies are not over, but it will never be the same as reading the books though. I was so into the book I finished it in 4 days!
