I need to read it, and want to read it to, but I want to read it when I have time to enjoy it and right now I don’t. <BR/><BR/>Do you ever do that? Put off reading something because you can’t give it the attention it deserves? I purposely waited to read the last Jordan Sonnenblick book I hadn’t read (“Notes from a Midnight Driver”) because I wanted to save it for an end-of-the-summer hurrah. And it got swallowed by my towering tower and didn’t re-emerge until December. Maybe I should learn from that and read Looking for Alaska NOW, but it’s also kind’ve like Christmas – part of the fun is looking forward to it.Tiffany Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027955587655310354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-30985373541209897672009-03-05T20:43:00.000-06:002009-03-05T20:43:00.000-06:00I've never read Looking For Alaska.

Although if you've read his other books, Paper Towns, then it's okay if you haven't read LfA yet. They're pretty much the same book. Meh.<BR/><BR/>The best book I've never read would be... hmm. I don't know. I'm tempted to go with classics like The Catcher in the Rye, but I tried it, hated it, threw it down a couple chapters in. I just can't stand that character. What's his name? Holden? Holden Caulfield? Bleeeccchhh. If you can't not use cursing to express yourself, go back to middle school and grow up again.<BR/><BR/>So that didn't really count then, I guess. I'll go with Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. Have yet to read that one. Want to. Real soon. Hopefully. Hey! I know! My birthday's coming up, I'll ask my brothers for it as a Christmas present!Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.com
