I am reading a novel called The Information by Martin Amis. This novel was published about ten years ago, and it follows the travails of a great but chronically, and spectacularly, unsuccessful writer who is forced to deal with the literary fame and raging success of his best friend, who is an admitted hack and whose good luck never seems to run out.

This success of his compadre, who is really his adversary, is slowly killing Richard Tull, and he needs to do something about it before there is no option left but to concede defeat and quit writing.

This novel is so funny that last night I rolled off my sofa laughing.The Information

The title of my book is Play their hearts out.

So far some of the things im enjoying about the book is how a basketball coach is in desperate need of a new star player after that player crushed their team by 30+ points.

Emily | 21 comments The book that I'm reading is by Jeri Freedman. It's called Tay-Sachs Disease.

I liked the book because it talks about a lot about Tay-Sachs disease and how the disease occurs. I am interested in that disease because I want to know why people die from the disease. I also wonder if there will be cure for Tay-Sachs disease some day. I am trying to find out why people can't live and get better from the disease.

This book is amazing. The dystopian society is described in a way that seems very horrifying, It's as if the mental asylum from "One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest" was the government. The mystery's are gripping and its keeping me invested. There are some strange things about it like the robots called One-eyes (though they are also somewhat scary) but it is kind of the lovable strangeness only found in Sci-Fi.
