Current Reading List September 2014

WHAT AM I READING?!?!

The Maze Runner By James Dashner

When I was younger I was always the person to read the books BEFORE they became movies. As I get older and life becomes more and more complicated I now read the books AFTER they are made into a movie. Regardless I have been itching to read The Maze Runner for quite sometime but just never bothered to pick it up until now. The Maze Runner by James Dashner is the first book of the series. It tells the tale of a boy named Thomas who is thrown into this crazy ever changing maze along with other boys who like him have no memory of how they got there in the first place.  I don't want to give away anything and also I haven't finished it yet but it basically goes on telling how Thomas and the other boys endure the maze. It is very Hunger Games-esq. So far its been a pretty good read compelling, gripping and easy to follow. I definitely recommend this book to everyone ALL AGES. The movie will be released September 19, 2014 starring Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf) as the main character.

Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs By Chuck Klosterman

This is one of those books that you read when you are just kinda down and done with life. Chuck Klosterman talks well more like attacks postmodern America such as reality TV, porn, literary Jesus freaks and so forth. It is hilarious and super entertaining. However I don't recommend this book to close minded people or too those who may be a little bit conservative. Klosterman is pretty forthcoming and blunt with his ideals and hey it is a free country so to speak. 

Both of these books are available in bookstores nationwide (both paperback and hardback) as well as in digital form (Kindle, Nook, and so forth...)
