The Looking Glass War, by Frank Beddor

Summary: It turns out that Alice in Wonderland was based on a true story, but horribly mangled. This is the story of Alyss and her struggle against Queen Redd.

Reaction: I rather enjoyed it. It was rather neat how it was a new take on a somewhat familiar tale. The fact that I might describe it as an adventure doesn't hurt either...

The Audacity of Hope, by Barack Obama

...a book that too me over an entire quarter to read, a book that I only read because I got it for Christmas (over a year ago), a book that I only finished now because my computer is going annoyingly slow and giving me time to read, but still a book I enjoyed.

Basically, he laid out his view of that should be done to improve America, or something along those lines. And I found myself agreeing with most of his points. Whether this was because he was very persuasive, I'm easily persuaded, or I already agreed with much of what he had to say I don't know. Still, I enjoyed it. It's nice to know what our president wants to do to our country.
