"Your hopes and dreams. Diffusion."

I need to get absorbed in a good book. Something to really distract... the kind that even when put down is still happening. Suggestions?
On an entirely different note how good is popcorn chicken?? I had a pretty dreary crappy day today at work and ate a few pieces of popcorn chicken... Ok so, I ate a small bucket of the stuff and found that those things truly bring some dazzle to the day. Seriously my entire day was better and I started dreaming up these plants where popcorn chicken grows like raspberries; ready to be plucked and popped in a mouth that was having a dreary day so that after chewing that little piece of meat the mouth could exclaim "how wonderful popcorn chicken for you to be there on that bush waiting to make me happy". These are things I thought. In fact popcorn chicken is kind of like a speculative fiction book which makes me come to the conclusion that I wish Margaret Atwood would hurry up and write the next book of her series. Perhaps I'll read the Harry Potter series double agains.

  2. Second that to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo- I was up until 11pm every night reading that thing. Couldn't stop!

  3. Definitely Dragon Tattoo and then the 2 others in the series as well! That should keep your tiny hands busy for a while. See Spot Run is a lighter read but also good. Furthermore, the Bible.
