An Incomplete and Inaccurate History of Sport: . . . and Other Random Thoughts from Childhood to Fatherhood by Kenny Mayne
Funny book, with random thoughts jumping everywhere. The author, Kenny Mayne, touches on all types of sports, but really never delves into any one in particular. He writes like he has ADHD, random thoughts on just about anything, anywhere. I actually didn't finish it, but for the sports enthusiast or non-reader I would recommend it. 2 out of 5 stars.
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
What an awesome love story. I was thrown off by the whole vampire thing when people told me about it, and I refused to read it for about a year. I finally broke down and opened the library's copy up and couldn't put it down. It truly is a love story that is so all encompassing - the reader is brought into the story and can feel the connection between the characters. 5 out of 5 stars!!

The Raging Quiet by Sherry Jordan
I just happened to stumble upon this book - it had a pretty outdated picture on the cover but this book qualifies for "you can't judge a book by its cover." It was an easy read, but I couldn't really decide where or when it took place, but the idea of a girl helping a deaf man, and being accused of being a witch was well written. I would give it 2 and 1/2 stars (out of 5)
Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Finished it this weekend and I would have to say that it was very thought provoking. I never knew anything about Afghanistan and its history. The story was very well written, and the tale was a sad one about a broken friendship. There were so many facets of the the story line I couldn't even do the book justice. I would recommend it to a mature reader because of the vocabulary and there is some very descriptive violence. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.
