Finishing Black Voices and Starting the Book of Not

 I have finally finished Black Voices. This is one of the most difficult but probably one of the best and most well written books that I have read in a long time. On Monday, I received a book from Dr.D which turned out to be the sequel to Nervous Conditions, The Book of Not. So far this book is very interesting and filled with a dark tone. This book contains many of the same characters in Nervous Conditions, but the book is on a whole new level of darkness. It seems like every other page is filled with blood and gore. The book itself is very good, but I'm not sure I want to keep on reading it purely because of the dark and depressing content. It's so bad that even the first page starts out with and amputation.
 If the book continues to be this way, I will probably give it up to Jerry or whoever was next in line to read it. I like how this week we started to read in class (that's what I heard). This way I will be able to work more on homework at home and spend less time reading. I hope that next week will be fun and that we start on our poetry unit. Next week, I also hope that we can get class time to work on our projects.
