So for the last 2 weeks or so I've had trouble starting the car. I made my dad aware of this. Yesterday morning, the car just did not start at all. I was very irritated largely because I had told my dad about it and nothing had been done about it. So, my dad had to take me to work and my mom had to pick me up. We got a new battery and now the

i enjoyed reading Memoirs of a Geisha, The House of Spirits, and One Hundred Years of Solitude. That says a lot considering I normally avoid fictional literature.

If you want enjoyable non-fiction books concerning physics and math, I can suggest many interesting works. However something tells me you (and most people) probably don't read books on quantum mechanics or chaos theory for fun. :)

Also look for The Earth From Above: 365 Days a Year. This book has *amazing* pictures taken all over the world from a helicopter. It's really cool to see how landscapes vary from one part of our world to another. There's also a geographical blurb next to each picture so you can learn more about the place you're seeing. Ok kinda nerdy but still very interesting.

There's also this book at my mom's house called 1000 Extra/Ordinary Objects, edited by Colors and published by Taschen. It's got all sorts of curious objects from around the world, most of which can be purchased. It's like a JCPenney Catalog, but with much cooler things, and is actually

Cool thanks! I'll be looking into them soon. I'm open to non-fiction books as well, but definately not science or math related. ;-)

I, of course, recommend Lord of the Rings, but I know you probably won't read it. Also in the fantasy vein, I suggest the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I just finished the first one, The Eye of the World, and it's rather good. The images are a tad cliche, but the story's cool. And by cliche I mean that there are black cloaked riders on black horses that strike fear into the hearts of men. And they refer to something called "the Breaking of the World". And there's a "Fourth Age". And a supreme evil being locked in some place called Shayol Ghul, who is often referred to as "He Who Must Not be Named", because to say his name, Shai'tan, draws bad luck. And there are these distinctly Orc-like creatures called Trollocs. And strange, black flying creatures an awful lot like the winged steeds of the Nazgul. Anyway, I know you probably won't go for the fantasy stuff. I also recommend anything by Madeleine L'Engle. Fabulous stuff.
