After coming to the conclusion that I no longer want to read Betsy Books, I decided that I need to find some other fairly decently written books to read. I'm learning away from the YA books, they are all about 12 year old girls discovering their bodies and how their parents are actually not as stupid as they seem and really I've been there.

I've just finished reading The Best American Non-Required Reading 2003, which I waited forever for. I think it may be the best compilation of stories ever. I love this book. So after reading short stories, cartoons and essays I've put some books on hold at the library. I just forced myself away from that page and on to here because I've just put six books on hold and many of them I will get soon, and they are large books, books that will take some time to read.

10th Grade.Joseph Weisberg
Everything is Illuminated (on CD) by Jonathan Safran Foer
Fight Club.Chuck Palahniuk
Me Talk Pretty One Day.(large print) David Sedaris (The library has seveal David Sedaris books, including Naked which is the one I wanted, but they all have 50 some holds on them, and so I settled for the large print which only has four holds on it.)
Sarah. J.T.Leroy
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs.Chuck Klosterman (I really wanted Fargo Rock City but the library doesn't even have that.)

So yes, I won't be getting Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs any time soon because I'm 11 of 11 on the list, and I won't be getting Fight Club for at least two weeks because I'm 4 of 4 and despite working at the library I really have no magical veto book holding powers.

Speaking of which, I need to go to work now.
