I'm supposed to be packing for a trip to the Blue Mountains but my phone has this app called Laputa which is basically a (free) ebook reader and obviously, being the lazy dork I am, I thought this afternoon would be as good a time as any to check it out.

Okay so I decided that since I can never ever unread this, you all might as well suffer too. I feel ten different kinds of unclean and also might just have killed myself laughing.

Lately I feel like I've been having ridiculous mood swings. I don't know why. One moment I'll be talking and laughing with a group of people and the next I can't stand them. I can't understand what's wrong with me.

On a slightly better note, I just finished reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. If you haven't read it you really need to do so ( Read more... )

Yeah, yeah. I know, spam posting. But I'm procrastinating and bored and really sick of exams so. I come bearing a completely left field question: has anyone on the f-list read this book?
