So, about two days ago I traded books with my manager, Paul. I gave him Perks of Being A Wallflower and he gave me Make Room! Make Room! (also known as Soylent Green). The story revolves around three different characters, a poor Detective, a live-in prostitute, and a homeless boy. Basically what goes down is this boy attempts to steal some shit and ends up becoming a part of the murder of this live in prostitute's sugar daddy. The detective and the prostitute fall in love while trying to uncover the boy. This is all in the year 1999 with a population crisis so huge that 90% of the world is on welfare and has to survive on food rations of crackers (which everyone apparently likes a lot). In the movie, these crackers are made of humans, but that plot twist does not exist in the novel. It's a pretty anticlimatic ending. Anyways, there's a pretty awesome chapter of description about the theif being on LSD. That was fun. One of my favorite paragraphs in this book was:

Never mind, I lost the page number.

Anyways, this wasn't really my type of a book. I'm not into crime novels, and this was definitely a crime novel. Kevin said he would pick me up a copy of Catcher and the Rye, and I'm waiting impatiently for that. Haha.

:)

Well, off to work I go! I hope I don't shrivel up today in this heat.
