I am addicted to WoW....again. Sigh when will it end?

In other news, there is a game called Surgeon Simulator my husband and I found on Steam. All i can say is loads of creeptastic fun! lol

Bookshelf for sure! While I liked this book, I had some trouble with Bradbury's sentence structure/wording. I have found I am not the only one, which made me feel better, tbh. Anyway aside from those random occurrences, the story is just brilliant. Bradbury paints a vivid picture of a world without books and its chilling, haunting, and so real. From an avid reader, like myself, there is nothing more frightening than this world.

I found it interesting that for a book written in the 50s that played, on their fears at that time, they are fears we still have today. Are we so attached to the technological advancements in world that we could fail to appreciate the things in front of us? Are we so far removed from each other due to a flashing screen (tv or phone) that we forget how to communicate face to face? These are questions I found myself, constantly, asking. I like it when a writer makes it that real even decades later.

I was going to say Ender's Game as well.
What age group is this for?

I am almost done with The Windup Girl, pretty good post apocalyptic book. After that I will start 1984 and then The Maze Runner. I have a ton of books I have borrowed from people that I will need to get through asap.
