BOOOOOOOOQCLUB!!!!

Whatup peoples!?

Hows things? I am writing this blog post for several reasons:

1) We should read a new fucking book! I've been on a kinda dystopian kick as of late, and thought maybe others might be interested in reading something in the same vein. Yay/nay? Recommendations?

2) In the English class that I am currently teaching we decided as a class that we are going to split up into groups and read books that we would classify as "mind expanding." It's a pretty broad category that I think could be pretty generative, but a lot of my students are leaning towards "UFOs came and took my baby while I was high on cough syrup" type stuff, instead of things that actually might have a bit of basis in reality. Does anybody have any suggestions for quality, non alien life form-based, mind expanding reads?

3) Lastly, my lovely girlfriend has recently started a blog about her DIY craftiness and the projects she works on. She is interested in having like minded people also read her blog, but as of right now she hasn't been overwhelmed by people looking at and commenting on her stuff. If that's up your alley you might want to give it a look. It is located at:

Hope everybody is doing smashingly, Perro Fantasma OUT!
