It's not so much an addiction as a lifestyle choice![]()
I don't really watch much sport... unless you're counting Starcraft 2 tournaments.

Feel better B.A.G., drink lots of green tea and gets some rest! I studied the Teachings of B.A.G. on your blog; Diary of a Wimpy Kid II sounds like an interesting set, but with the long hours I can see that you need more good books to read! I can recommend The Bartimaeus Trilogy; smart funny with dark humor, fantasy and magic, plus the His Dark Materials trilogy, which is more serious in the LOTR vein, and Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist. They've all been out for years, so they are great to get at the library. They are for all ages which is why all of my copies are gone; grown ups and kids alike kept borrowing them and passing them on.

And of course I never fail to read B.A.G. Of Wonder, that venerable publication with news on all things B.A.G.!

Anybody have good reading suggestions?
I LOVE the Percy Jackson series--of course, remember that I'm reading whatever my kids are reading, so most of it's adolescent lit.
My five favorite books:
Where the Red Fern Grows
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Jacob Have I Loved
Homecoming (The Tillerman Series)
Harry Potter (Yes, the whole series)
I just finished the Hunger Games trilogy--liked the first two books but the third one was "meh".
"The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" is wonderful.
And I really enjoy the Gregory Maguire books. Wicked, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, etc., but they REALLY aren't for everyone.
There are a few recs from me.
Oh yes, Percy Jackson. Love it!
Have you read his newest? The Red Pyramid
It's all about Egyption mythology; so of course I couldn't help comparing it to Stargate. (It was very distracting actually.)
