Basically all I wanted to do with this journal is show off what I'm reading.

Round Ireland with a Fridge is as close to the wonders and hilarity of Bill Bryson as you are ever going to get. I haven't laughed so hard at a book since... Never. (Unless Japanese Manga counts, and then the winner would go to Trinity Blood, for including a doodle of Mr. Peanut in a text box in the middle of an intense scene) The concept is extremely straight forward, this guy, Tony, is hitchhiking around the circumference of Ireland with a small refrigerator. I found out about it from having a gift card to Barnes & Noble since last Christmas. I logged onto the site 6 months later to see what was on their new section, which lists books you should read during the summer, because they are hard to put down. This was the last book on the list (or close to it) but instantly my eye was caught by words like "In the tradition of Bill Bryson." (I've read 4 of his books, and am quite a fan) I read a short of lovely overview and decided it had to be mine. I've been reading it for 3 days, and I'm almost on chapter 10. The only times I close the book, besides for obvious daily things, is to crack up hysterically. There are so many funny parts in succession that it becomes impossible to keep reading because your eyes are shut in laughter. When I bring this book around others to read in any down time I might have, they often come up to me, tap me on the shoulder, and say "What cha' reading?... I noticed you were laughing pretty hard."

Yesterday I was reading through 2 more chapters, and I had started with a blanket over my legs, but by the time I had finished my reading quota for the time I had kicked the blanket off the bed entirely sometime during my fits of laughter.

So if you, or someone you love is diagnosed with boredom this summer...Please contact a book store and purchase this book. For one easy payment of 11 dollars, you can provide joy to yourself or anyone else you know. Don't let yourself go without some good text in hard times. Read this book!

Seriously.
