Homework? And I should be doing it?

Well, it's about 20 minutes before I fly to my school. Last night I said, "Hey, I'm not going to bother with writing that book report right now. It's only due tomorrow."

Now I'm writing it. Guh. SCHOOL SHOULD BE LEFT IN SCHOOL!

I feel like I'm lying this whole time I'm writing. Seriously:

The book, The Werewolf Book: The Encyclopedia of Shape-Shifting Beings, was written by Brad Steiger and was published on August 1, 1999 by Visible Ink Press. In its 432 pages you can find just about everything you wanted to know about werewolves and shape-shifters. From movies, to video games, to folklore, this book has everything there is to know about everything werewolfish.

The Werewolf Book carefully documents shape-shifters in alphabetical order. Each chapter is a new letter in the alphabet, so it is easy to navigate the pages. It resulted from Steiger’s lifelong studies and contains nearly 250 entries. Entries go from simple, one-paragraph explanation to the complex, two-page stories.

Although this book is nonfiction, it was non-conventional as well. It fits into both categories of encyclopedia and storybook. Each entry is in a different style than the last, but it is easy to tell the same author wrote them all. Sometimes the in-depth entries are a little too heavy and sometimes the short entries are a little too light, but every entry keeps you interested for the next. I would definatly recommend this book to others if they enjoy a blend of nonfiction, fiction, and werewolves.

After reading this book, I was inspired to write a story or do something creative. It is a thought-warming book that starts my creativity every time I read it. You will probably enjoy this book if you like to be prompted with ideas, rather than making them up by yourself.


EW! That is terrible! But it is a pretty good book, so you should read it.
Oh snap! I gotta get ready to get into the Tokyo-bound van!
Yeah, today you aren't allowed :P
