===Journal===
Picked it up after finishing The Kite Runner and thought I'd bash through it. I was expecting it to be a good read, but most of the contributions were bland, boring, too short or too irrelevant to me. Put it back down with 2 chapters still to go, as it was slowing me down and I've got a lot to read ;)
