Last night I started a book that was listed on the "Best Young Adult Fiction" list. I lasted 3 pages (The Poison something or another). "I can't believe how much this sucks."

I try to read fiction so I don't totally turn into my father. But I mostly dislike fiction.
I also try to read books that are popular with my patients (no, not twilight) or ones that I think they might like so I can recommend them.

Maybe I'll just go back to reading the banned book list, but they are such a bummer. Slaughterhouse Five and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Cripes.

Suggestions?
