The Slippery Slope (10) by Lemony Snicket

This one was about them finding VFD headquarters if you know what I mean. It's all very secretive, and they even lose Violet's first love. Stupid stupid children. But it was fun nonetheless, much in the same fashion as the last one. :)

The Carnivorous Carnival by Lemony Snicket

I love audiobooks. This and the next book were listened to during work as I scanned in hundreds and hundreds of photos. Anyway, the book itself. Well I do like the series, and it all carries on in the same way - no literary techniques, not really, too much explaining of "big words" cause it is a kids book, but fun anyway. Got a few more left on audiobook to read/listen to so I'll finish them all hopefully.

The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach

A great book. Nothing literary, or moving, but just the ideas are right-on. Although I'm not of the age where making money is really an issue, nor is investing, buying a house, buying stock, or etcetc. It makes me think anyway, for as soon as I've got a job, I know what to do. This is a good book for when you're going into working, working for real -- full time with a retirement fund and all that. It would make a good gift in my opinion, and reading it now might be good as would reading it then. Fantabulous!

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris

A good read I suppose. I'd heard that Sedaris' books were fabulous, and thus was a little let down. I was also suprised to find out his sexual preferences, assuming that at least some of the book is realistic and autobiographical. I never would have guessed, and I suppose that his take on everything was partially startling, not that there was anything wrong one way or another, it was just strange yet interesting to read. Either way, I grew to like the book more and more, and am glad to have finally taken the time to read one of his books. I know he's written 3 others, but I'll get to them eventually. It's written in an interesting style seeming to speak to himself rather than the reader or something odd, but it's fairly comforting and inviting as far as the stories go. Good good I say.
