Wow

I just finished Jump Ball: a basketball season in poems by Mel Glenn. It's just... so sad. It's about this basketball team, told from a lot of different perspectives through poems. Some of the players see basketball as their entire lives, while others see it as a game in high school. The manager of the team has a crush on a player from the Ukraine, and it's cool to see how that relationship unfolds.
It's a very good book. I'm definitely recommending it to friends.

I finished Rewind by Jan Page last night. It's about a boy who starts a band, and on the night of his first gig he dies. Then his spirit goes back in time, and he sees his parents and their band. He hadn't gotten along with his dad during his life, so it's a different thing for him to see him as a teenager. He also tries to stop the death of his parents' best friend.
It's very very very good. Just the whole what is time thing that goes on.

I'm going to start Friday Night Lights. I don't know if I'll finish it, because it's so long. I may end up just watching the movie. :)
But I plan on catching up on some reading this weekend. Soccer practice takes up so much of my time these days!
