How Soon is Never?



This novel is all about Morrissey and The Smiths. The Smiths wrote a song called "How Soon Is Now?" It is probably they're most popular song, because it has been used in commericials, it is the Charmed Theme Song, and it was also on The Wedding Singer Soundtrack.
This book is about a man who reviews music for a living and how his life sort of went all wrong. It's also plays on the idea of what it would be like if The Smiths got back together. It was interesting only because of all the Smith and Morrissey references, otherwise it was kind of slow and depressing.

Children of the Alley



It was time to get serious and this book was intense. Very colourful and very beautiful. A culture shock of a book. It was so intricate and I was tired by the end of it. But very beautiful. I would read another one of his books.

All American Girl



Ok, this book was about art and ska and Washington D.C.. Ok sure, it was also about teenage girls and boys. I was 24 at the time. So what? I liked it, a lot.

Faking It



My second to last book recommended by Sherri. A lot of poeople I know read Jennifer Crusie and love her a lot, but I felt she was more of a romance writer than a chick lit writer. Either way, it was cute. It wasn't for me.

Borderlines




An autobiography about a girl in her early to mid-twenties and her pyscho best friend. Very Single White Female. I didn't want friends after this. Hahaa, thats ok though, because I didn't have any.

Romeo and Juliet




What better way to start 2004 that another re-reading of Romeo & Juliet? At this time I bought all the books published by Folger Library and I remember loving how all the books looked together, stacked up neatly in my arms. Mhmhm...


Oooh..I need more shark books in my life. This one was SOO SOOSOSOS good and scary. Scary because I am afraid of sharks, you see. :)
