BEGINNING OF THE THIRD MARKING PERIOD.

As my first book of this quarter I am reading the book Fast Food Nation Eric Schosser. It is about the back story and behind the scenes about the fast food industry. I have not read much of the book yet because I just started to read, and I'm finding it weird because the author is talking about the man that started Mcdonalds and his life. I thought it was really strange because when I think about the fast food industry I think of fat cats that dont care about the health of their customers; but I dont think of a farm worker who is offered a job with this uncle in California. So far the author has not mentioned any of the bad parts of the fast food industry so I am really looking forward to reading that.

Ending the quarter well with another finished book!

I finished The Urban Hermit, and I really liked it for a few reasons. First the book was good because you can't help but feeling like you know Sam (the urban hermit). Also the book was good because he was really funny. One final reason I liked the book was because it was so cool to actually think that somebody did what this man did. He only spent eight dollars a weeks and only ate eight-hundred calories a day and completely succeeded and his life became much better. So yea I think this is where I will leave off my blog off for this marking period.

Another new book!!!

So I have started my third book of the quarter, it is called The Urban Hermit by Sam MacDonald. It is a true story about himself. Sam, after college (he went to harvard) slowly spent money and gained a lot of weight. He reached a point where he owed so much money to the government and was so overweight that he had to do something drastic. So he started an experiment called the urban hermit project. In it he would only spend eight dollars a week and eat 800 calories a day. This book is him re-living this crazy experiment and the best part is what happened to him after, after he was done he was debt free, 160 pounds lighter, and got a job as a news reporter. I really like this book so far because I really like the craziness of his plan and the story is actually funny even though basically the whole story is told in the first chapter.
