Well yes, we are mad - but not the definition that involves straight jackets and padded walls. We are mad (well really... I'm mad, Ashley's just indifferent) at the "cocky cable conglomerate" that won't make good on their mistake and don't deem customer service necessary! Therefore, I am boycotting the "cocky cable conglomerate" that I do not wish to name because it will only give them free publicity.
Split second change of heart - TIME WARNER CABLE sucks!
However, due to this unfortunate situation with the "cocky cable conglomerate" my passion for reading has been reignited! YAY! Just this Wednesday, I read an entire book cover to cover in one night! It was an awesome book, The Kite Runner - by Khaled Hosseini - I mean this book is the true definition of a page turner, I literally read non-stop from 7pm to 2am. I couldn't put the book down (granted I was the child that started reading early...and growing up in 'the country' I choose reading over playing outside)...but still I shocked myself.
The story is set in Afghanistan and touches on childhood betrayal, rape, family secrets, classism and even a bit of political drama. I'm telling you I laughed, I cried and I wished the story would go on forever - but of course it didn't. I hear they also made a movie about it, but please do yourself a favor and read the book before you see the movie (because its really hard to do it the other way around - trust me I've tried)!
If you haven't already read it go out, grab it and quench your thirst for good literature. I am starting Cane River - by Lalita Tademy tonight...I'll fill you in when I finish it (or maybe you can put your library card to good use and read it with me)!
Any must-reads that you know of? Share the knowledge.
