Earlier in the year I had the option to read Atlas Shrugged for English, but chose the less daunting book Cat's Cradle as I really didn't want to have to read such a long book when I had little time. The assignment was to make a project to convince others to read the book, and I was convinced to read Atlas Shrugged. Yeah, I can't.

I made it about 70 pages in, in one sitting and not can't think of returning to reading it. It's not a terrible book, just.. so boring. The characters don't have much character, the writing is just very boring. Though I do like Hank Rearden - he's the only character in the book that I think is interesting but even he isn't worth reading. Well, if you have literally nothing else to read or listen to that's fictional then I suppose it'd be something to bide your time with. However, when I have the choice of reading Dragon's Egg, listening to a silly Doctor Who audio about pirates, reading fanfiction or The Dark Path it's hard to go to Atlas Shrugged for enjoyment, because in it there is none.

Bah. :D Though I'm also gonna listen to the audiobook of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and am considering Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said if I get desperate. I can't decide whether FMTTPMS is worth it, as it sounds fairly generic Sci-Fi fare buuut. Bah.

The bruise on my arm from the IV when I got my teeth out is barely healing - the outer bits have faded to the sickly yellowish color, but the inner is still red. This might be mundane to a lot of people, but I hardly ever bruise so it's just something weird and new.  My mouth itself is healing stupidly - I think I ended up getting dry socket in both my lower teeth because I fail at healing. The upper ones are fine, though. I hope it'll be completely healed up before I go back to school in late August.
