I'm tired of the couch potato life. I've been out of school since October and I'm slowly losing my mind. Does anyone have any books to recommend? I need to stay sharp, I'm taking 18 hours next semester and I don't want to go into it with a brain composed entirely of America's Next Top Model marathons.

To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

really?

Yes ... this is Julie again ... I freaking love VW. But I'm weird. Have you read Atonement? You're too much of an English major not to have read it ... but if not, I definitely recommend that.
