at least there's a lot of time to read?

Going to work is about an hour and a half each way. Plenty of time to finish your average modern novel. (The older ones (think early 1800s or before) can take longer because authors have no concept about where to stop their sentence. They go on for paragraphs and then you go back and are like....wait. You mean this sentence isn't about the horse,

Oh, I was looking at Never Let Me Go at Border's yesterday. I guess I'll give it a go after reading your review :) Oh, the author of Kite Runner came to Davis last year but I feel the same way about reading popular books so I have been refusing to read it, lol.

yeah...I really wasn't expecting Never Let Me Go to be that kind of novel. The summary on the copy I had made it sound more like they were living in some mysterious school that had a dark secret. Which is all true, but still. It was pretty easy to read too, so you might try getting it from the library first. =)
re: Kite Runner. yeah, when my manager was all *fangirl* at me about it I was like *horror horror ABORT* but then I couldn't disappoint her by saying I hadn't read it. >_< Darn the necessity of sucking up to your superiors! But thankfully the popularity of this book isn't completely unfounded. =)

Yaaaay! You read The God of Small Things :D
I love that book too much.
I think Brian has my copy. I gave it to him and hid notes in it to try to get him to go back to me.. I don't think he even touched it :P

I was thinking about you when I read it! I was like, oh yeah this is her favorite book. I really did like her writing; it was smooth and different. And the time-skipping around thing wasn't annoying like it would be in other books.

...maybe if you hid beef jerky in the pages?? ew gross.
