Wake by Lisa Mcmann pgs 1-70

Wake is the first book in a trilogy about a girl who can go inside peoples dreams. She doesn't really willingly go though, it's more like she sucked in. The first time she remembers it happening is one day when she was eight yeard old, she got sucked into the dream of sleeping man on a train. Ever since then she has kept her secret well kept, and views it more a curse than a gift. Her mother is drunk, who barely acknowledges she has a daughter. Janie is kind of a loner at school, except for one best friend, who doesnt even know her secret. The book is just now putting her gift to use- she is helping the police solve a drug crime within the school using her dream capabilities.

So far I love this book. I wanna read all three books. Its the perfect blend of sci fi, and reality. It isn't totally ridiculous, and the style of writing Mcmann uses is really interesting. Kind of like third person, semi omniscient? I don't know, I really like it though!

Scar Tissue- Anthony Kiedis pg 1-138

Anthony Kiedis's memior "Scar Tissue" is something every red hot chilli peppers fan should read. I've been a fan forever, never really knowing the extent of Anthony Kiedis's drug problems. The lead singer recalls inciting incidents from his life, including early childhood memories of his father. The book starts out with him getting beat up while waiting for his drug dealer in a car, then waking up in his van on the way to another show.

The whole book is so rock'n roll, but not in the cliche way. He tells his stories in a way that make them not only funny, but endearing and sincere. I love the pictures too! Its an inside look into the life of a rocker..but not only a rocker, a total druggie. Which is kind of what is sad about his life. However, I do know that he has cleaned up his life some since the times these stories are recalled from. Definantley a great read, even if you aren't a Red Hot Chilli Peppers fan!
