Speaker of the Dead

I started reading a book for Physics class called Speaker of the Dead. It is the book that follows Ender's Game. To be completely honest, it is the weirdest book I have ever read. The first book was extremely good, and I would recommend it for anyone, but to take on the second book you definitely have to be prepared. I have never read such a strange book in my entire life. It takes place many years in the future on many different planets. At that point in time, there are many inhabitable planets, but the only known species is the humans and this knew thing called the Piggies. The reason the book is so weird is because you learn about this species that is completely different to humans. All of their habits and traditions are crazy and some break laws that we have, yet to the Piggies, everything is completely normal. Then, there are things that we do that seem odd to the Piggies. It is extremely interesting to see the differences between to species and how they react to each other. It really starts to make you think about what would happen if the humans actually did find another species of life that has the same mental capacity as humans.

Harrrrrry Potter.

Hi, i'm halfway through the first Harry Potter. I don't really know what's happening. I feel like i'm forcing myself through it at this point and i'm not enjoying it. Harry is figuring out that Snape doesn't like him and stuff. So far i'm not really into it.
