Graceling – Read by Lindsey Wilson in a period of
physical(and maybe emotional) brokenness. Oxycodone optional.
It was tweeny. Magical powers and big mountains. Angsty love only consummated post-blindness. Castles, swords, and really awesome fight scenes galore. But there were no vampires, so it sucked.

Skippy Dies - SR
What do time travel, drugs, donuts and Catholic priests have in common? An integral role in Paul Murray's brilliantly dark novel of adolescent misadventure. Employing a rich tapestry of narrators- from students, to criminals, to parents, to teachers- Murray weaves a tale which successfully encapsulates the complexities and angst of adolescence. And, yes, the title character, Skippy, does indeed die.
You know that Oscar winning movie you fell asleep watching that was really really "good"? It's a book like that. A seriously unenthralling, often unbelievable, completely unique character study. Life lessons learned: don't play with bombs, don't get chewing gum stuck in your hair and don't fall for spanish speaking women. Total gyp.

your use of the word gyp offends me. i am a larping gypsy, and only those in the fold are entitled to the use of such terms. And unless you bear the flowering rose on your neck, which I highly doubt, you should restrict your foul language. or be cursed!
