Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
This week I read about how the world is all about incentive, which it sometimes makes people want to cheat. It was pretty interesting but i don't know how true all the facts are I am very skeptical about the book.

Adolf Hitler
I'm currently reading about the life of Adolf Hitler and how he was able to rise to power so quickly and effectively. This book really explains his childhood and youth, in order to help the reader understand how his mindset was formed. It's a very unique perspective that is very valuable in attempting to see Hitler's development into a powerful(though extremely misguided)leader.

I read the story "Araby" by James Joyce yesterday. Though it was written in the 1800's the language was still easy to understand. It was an interesting story but I think men would be able to relate to it better than women because it is about a young boys first crush.

This week I was reading the Bradenton herald local artical by Matt Sedenski. In Ocala a 75 year old ladie with 70 dogs living in a mobile home were killed by a fire in the mobile home. This artical reminded me of this show on animal planet I was watching the other day.

The Last Song
I am up to page 113.. Ronnie who is almost 18 is sent to her dads in North Carolina to spend the summer. Something like that happens to me every summer until I was 18. My birthday is in May just before summer and every summer I would go to Michigan to visit my dad for just about the entire summer.

Still reading The Host. I am on the part where Wanda is telling Ian that she will no longer be the host inside of Melanie's body. He gets really upset.

I am still reading The Princess Plot with my niece Breeonna. We read chapters 5 through 7. Jenna took her first ride on an air plane. I remember the first time me and my sister went on an air plane I thought it was the coolest thing and my sister was really scared.The Princess Plot

The Hunger Games
i am currently on page 75 of the hunger games. the story is building up more and more to where the hunger games actually begin. there is a serious connection between the two main characters who are forced to compete in the games against each other, yet they feel as if they are the only ones they can depend on. this reminds me of being torn with friends who you love even though you know you probably shouldnt be close to them because they may bring you down but you continue the friendship anyways.
