Books. Reading. Being Cool.

One time, after going to the mall, my then best friend asked what I had purchased. I told her I bought what looked to be a really good book. She said, "a book?! why did you get a book?!"

At the time, I was pissed. She was trying to make me look stupid for wanting to buy a book and read as opposed to purchasing some polyester/spandex hoochie top. She always referred to me as this "nerd" or "walking dictionary" just because I referred to terminology containing more than 5 letters and allusions to literary works. WHATEVER.

The point is... people should try to read more. I should try to read more. Harry Potter, sadly, does not count as reading. Playing board games/video games, watching youtube, or reality shows do not stimulate the brain. Get a good book and read it this summer. This is especially directed at all those seniors graduating this June who, like I, probably won't have a job lined up.
