What I’m Reading Now

Still enjoying History of the World, and Name of the Wind, and picked up Peter Pan last night. I’ve never actually read Peter Pan before. It’s… well, it’s a really strange book. Wendy is so eager to grow up it’s all she can do, and when she does, it makes her miserable. The Lost Boys [...]
