I am the Messanger
By Markus Zusak
great, funny, cool, interesting, intriuging book. about a guy who, by pure luck, stops a bank robbery. he then begins to recieve mysterious playing card aces in the mail, with names. some are to be "taken care of", others, to be helped. Ed is the messenger.
that was mine, just to see if i could kinda do it. heres the book's:
Protect the Diamonds
Survive the Clubs
Dig Deep through the Spades
Feel the Hearts
Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He's pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he unadvertently stops a bank robbery.
Thats when the first ace arrives in the mail.
Thats when Ed becomes the messanger.
Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting(when neccesary) until only one question remains: who's behind Ed's mission?
The story premise might sound pretty weird, but its for sure the most fun book ive ever read. really cool.

Yet another
Ok so i read this great book called the burn journals, by Brent Runyon. The thing that amazed me about this book was that i read it, and was kinda sad, but i told myself, its only fiction. but then, i read it more carefully, and realized this is non-fiction. the guy acually did this. ok, story synopsis:
Brent Runyon was fourteen years old when he set himself on fire.
In The Burn Jounals, Runyon describes that devastating suicide attempt and his recovery, both physical and psychological, over the following year. He shares his story wth such unflinching honesty that we understand--with a terrible clarity--what it means to want to kill yourself and how it feels to struggle back to normality.
Intense, exposed, insightful, The Burn Journals is a deeply personal story with universal reach. It is impossible to look away. Impossible not to remain unmoved.
So, this book is kinda depressing, and yet, at points, incredibly uplifting. its very gripping. check it out if you want, but don't read part and then put it down. you have to finish it.
