This is a non-fiction memoir of Kennedy's stint in the record business. It's from the perspective of someone who loves music, but then gets a job in the music industry which has very little to do with "music" and a lot to do with "industry." Moderately amusing.

A Long List from a Lazy Blogger
February 9: Horseradish by Lemony Snicket. A book of anti-inspirational sayings.
February 25: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. A YA book with all the themes Alexie loves to throw in - poverty, racism, alcoholism, basketball, and finding your identity. A good read.
March 1: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I reread this because my 8th grade class was studying it. It's a lovely, rich book.
March 2: Define Normal by Julie Anne Peters. A YA book about finding your identity (hey, is that a theme of teen-lit?) and not judging people until you get to know them.
March 4: Castle Waiting by Linda Medley. A graphic novel loosely based on some fairy tales.
March 6: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon. Written from the point of view of an autistic boy who is trying to solve the mystery of who killed his neighbor's dog, and in the process discovers some things that his parents thought should be hidden. Very interesting because of the point of view.
March 8: Down the Street by Lynda Barry. A collection of cartoons. She rocks.
March 12, 22, and 27: Harry Potter books 1, 2, and 3; sometimes it's really nice to reread some escapist fiction.
March 26: The Seeing Stone by Kevin Crossley-Holland. A YA novel about a boy in medieval England who has a connection with the legendary King Arthur. Well written.
Whew! I'm glad I haven't been reading that much, or this laziness in blogging would have taken a lot longer to fix.

Vanishing Act by Thomas Perry
Euh [shoulder shrug]. Nothing special thriller. He does mention Medford, however.
