The Last Book In The Universe Rodman Philbrick
Spaz is an epileptic living in a post-apocalyptic world. There are no books, just mind probes that leave people empty shells of nothing. In order to save his sister, he has to cross several border lands, dealing with their gangs and security to get to the land of the "proves"-- the promised land populated by people who have been genetically improved.
An excellent adventure.
Wait for Me An Na
Yawn. Mina has lied about her academic prowress and that's about to come bite her in the butt. Her mom's a total bitch. She's been stealing from the family's dry-cleaning business. She likes this guy. Her little sister's deaf and depends on her for everything.
It could have been good, but... eh. It dragged and was boring and Mina was totally unsympathetic and so I didn't really care.
Woo-hoo! Unto November!
Pop! Aury Wallington
This was fun, nothing fantastic, but a nice little book about losing your virginity. Marit wants it gone, but freaks out when things get physical. Enter best friend Jamie, who isn't really a good choice for sex without attachment, because Marit still likes hot-boy Noah.
While the plot is a little unrealistic and happy-go-lucky, it's the kind I like in fun, sunny afternoon reads.
The sex scenes are hilariously accurate.
Lowji Discovers America Candace Fleming
A funny little book about a young boy trying to fit into small-town Illinois after growing up in Bombay. Moving just after school gets out, Lowji is bored and wants a pet. He quickly convinces his grouchy land-lady that a cat would help with the mouse problem and a dog would be a good burglar alarm, Lowji wins over the neighborhood.
Cute and written in the formal, slightly stilted English of a non-native speaker.

Unblogged books, in order of reading-- we have 2 left from October of 2006... (short and pithy, because I don't remember these books very well.)
