Welcome to my blog, Psycho Babble. I guess I should explain the title a little bit, shouldn't I? Well, I came up with the name Psycho Babble because it kind of fits my personality. My friends are always telling me how crazy they think I am. But really, aren't we all a little crazy sometimes? That's just life. So I just want this blog to be a way for me to get some of the random, crazy babbling out of my head, but in an orderly manner, if you know what I mean. Maybe there are even people out there like me who will actually be able to make sense of it.
This first post is just going to be a kind of informal introduction about me, about the blog...stuff like that.
So, first thing's first: I'm Alex, and I'm a freshman in college, majoring in Criminal Justice. I love college; it is so much better than any schooling I have experienced so far. A few hobbies of mine would be soccer, which I played in high school. I kind of miss it. I also do archery, and that's pretty cool. I also tap dance. Of all my hobbies, though, the one that I love the most would have to be reading. I am a total bookworm, through and through. I, personally, think being a book nerd is my best quality.
So, yes, I love to read. If I have a book on my person, then I'm happy. Being a freshman in college, though, does not leave me with very much time to sit down with a good book. I definitely do not have as much time as I'd like, that's for sure. It also sucks when I don't know what to read next. I mean, I don't want to waste my time on a book that isn't even good. I'm sure other people feel the same way, right?
That's my purpose for my next few posts: I want to give teenagers and college kids like me a few good books that are definitely not a waste of time. I'm going to show you the next five books that should be on your reading list. I'll even give you a sneak peek. The next five books you should read, even if you have already read them, are: Jumper, Ender's Game, Alice in Wonderland, Divergent, and The Host. Don't worry, I'll tell you why you should read them later.
"It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must, without doubt, without hesitation, with assurance, admire what is beautiful"
--Vincent van Gogh
