I have, however, read the Rock's autobiography, so I am well rounded in other ways. I at least did better than...

Books and Things

A friend recently posted asking for reading recommendations. In this time of all things baby, I could barely come up with two. For a girl with a degree in English that's shocking; I guess for a 9-months pregnant girl it's believeable. But interestingly enough I found the survey below, and I thought...

Fiction Reading List

Decided to do my own version of the reading list meme, removing some of the shite books and replacing them with books I love.
