I have almost absolutely nothing to read. Mainly because the library is lagging on the books I want, and also, I've read everything I own. And re-read them. And re-re-read them. You get the idea.
I'm also lacking any book recommendations. Sadly, barely anyone in my grade reads, except for those select few. By them not reading, I have no one to discuss, recommend, or criticize books. It's rather depressing.
Speaking of reading, recently, I read a book called "Physics of the Impossible". It. Was. Awesome. It talked about equipment,such as warp drives, laser guns, and hyperspace. You know, the equipment in Star Trek and Star Wars and Doctor Who and Sanctuary and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And The Men in the Moon. And Stargate. And Player Piano. And any Rudyard Kipling novel.
(That was my science-fiction speech for the day.)
Any way, the book was really good and spoke of someday, we might be able to have these nifty gadgets. It was imaginative,and the author clearly knew what he was talking about. I quite liked it.
Also, I've been reading a number of diverse books. One is Prey by Michael Crichton. I scared the living daylight out of me. Literally. Oh, probably because I read it at 2 a.m. on a school night, but anywho.
"Prey" is about a laboratory in New Mexico that invents chemically-altered particles for the army that seek and destroy any threats. Innovated idea, actually. But then, the particles are released to wreak havoc and chaos to the United States. The book is incredibly suspenseful, creative, and slightly disturbing. All in all, a good read. So, if you have a recommendation, comment. Please. For the sake of my well-being so I do not have to resort to television.
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish,
Elliot
P.S. My quote for the day: I don't have to fight, to prove I'm right-Baba O'Reily-the Who.

We've gotta get together sometime. We love the same stuff haha. I'll put Physics of the Impossible on my book list.
You say you've run out of things to read and you've rereread everything you have, so with all the books you've read you must have a good idea of how one begins, develops, and ends. You love reading them, discussing them, and engaging in them, so why not write your own? I'm sure with all the books you've read you can come up with a good plot. It'll take a while, but it'll keep you from being bored.
