Feeding the Suspense, Maybe?

Well, I'm pretty torn with sadness from the information I found out today. I woke up this morning, smile on my face, a skip to my step, and then came language arts class. Oh, that dreaded class with that harsh teacher Mr. Perlman. Jokes aside, I was told today that we must read our books in the order that they are listed on the document. That order goes as follows:
1. Fiction
2. Non-Fiction
3. Classic
4. Free Choice
5. Free Choice

So I finished the first one and that means I must now read a non-fiction book. The bad part about that is that immediatley after I finished Consent To Kill, I started on the next book in the series, Act of Treason. Act of Treason is another book apart of the Mitch Rapp series written by Vince Flynn. Surprisingly when discussing my reading project with my mom she said this was her favorite book in the entire Mitch Rapp series. That made me even more dissapointed when she said that because now I have to wait until my fourth book to read this one!

So instead I now must read a non-fiction book. I'm not one to typically read non-fictional books. So what I am supposed to read? An informational book on walruses? A book on aiding the impoverished? Those topics sound dull, boring, and maybe even a little painful to read.



I'm sure you wondering why there is just a giant blank white spot in between this paragraph and the last. Well, I'm actually typing to you a day after I wrote the previous part. Creepy, right?

Getting back to the topic of books, I got an amazing feeling yesterday night. After complaining to my mom for the good part of fifteen minutes about the dreaded next days where I had to read a non-fiction book, she actually smacked some sense into me.

She opened my eyes up to the many different facets of Non-Fiction readings. One in specific that she thought would spark my interest was, The Tipping Point, by Malcom Gladwell. She described Gladwell's books as basically a new different way to look at certain things. Gladwell presents ideas that nobody would ever think before and they actually make sense.

So it's official! I'm on my way to my second book. Wish me luck and Mr. Vince Flynn, I'll see you in a week or two!
