So my classes for the semester are over, which means that until June, when my 12 credit summer from hell (hereafter known as the SFH) commences, I have a super rigorous novel reading schedule. Currently I'm about half way through The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Steig Larsson, which is completely awesome and engrossing, and I'll write about it later, but I've had to put it down for the week because Will Grayson Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan came in for me at the library. I was leery of putting down a book in favor of another one, but I just started WGWG at lunch today, and I'm about half way through it now because it is kind of the most perfect book ever. It's about two boys who live in different suburbs of Chicago and meet accidentally in a porn shop one night.
Honestly, I started out not liking it, I thought it was dragging, and I didn't like one of the Will Graysons, and I was wondering when the two characters would meet and I wished they'd just get around to it already, but let me tell you, the two characters just met, and I was so excited about it that I had to put the book down to come and blog. And I can guarantee this will be a short post, because I have to get back to reading. I'll probably stay up entirely too late tonight and finish it, which is good, because I have to start and finish The Red Tent by Anita Diamant by Saturday morning at 10:00. Also, I don't understand why this isn't on YALSA's nominations, because it is so way awesomer than two of the three I've read so far.
So, I told you my reading schedule was rigorous. I just wish I could get as amped up about my library science text books as I do about teen books and books about computer hackers with Asperger's.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if library text books read like YA novels???
I think that should be done, for the benefit of all grad students, somehow mash up collection development and the latest Laurie Halse Anderson novel.
