Over spring break I've read a book called Blessed are the Uncool by Paul Grant. I've read it for an upcoming sociology project that will be due. It defines what cool actually is and goes into the details and motives of wanting to be cool. It breaks cool down and picks it apart into many smaller sub-parts. I found it very interesting. I read for 5 1/2 hours, and then went back to The Davinci Code and read farther into that book for 4 1/2 hours. Things i got out of the project.It gave me more motivation to actually pick up a book and read it. I've always liked reading, but never really found the time to do it. Its definitly easyer to keep going once you start to read again.

This week I have still been reading Angels and Demons by Joel Shueltze. It teaches what the bible says on both angels and demons and actually gives scripture references to back it up. I find the information to be especially interesting. Over the break i intend to finish this book, and possibly to start on a new one.

LATE post
I'm still reading my previous book. The class it reminds me of most is sociology. Both the class and the book show things in a more sociological outlook. It gives different veiws for common ideas.

This week I have finished the book Going to Extremes by Cass R. Sunstein, and am now getting into a book called The Dumbest Generation by Mark Bauerlein. Based mainly on the book I'm currently reading and a term from Going to Extremes, reminds me of a song called Stupid Girls by Pink. These girls in the song are completely wrapped up in their own lives that they don't care about knowing anything beyond it. Pink mocks them in a funny matter, but The Dumbest Generation explains how serious it actually is. Girls like those in the songs could very well be the future generation. With so much technology in our hands we should be able to learn more than those in the past, but it shows technology, along with a few other factors, actually is having the opposite affect.

This week I've been reading a few older National Geographic magazines for about two hours. I read all about the affects of aging, and how eating just the right things could extent your life a significant amount of time. I also learned how much the processed foods that most all Americans call normal, affect your daily life, and slow down chemicals in your brain. I also picked up an older copy about the swine flu, and how it makes more of an impact on smaller countries.
