So I wanted to do a post on ten books that have changed my life, but the thing is... that's a really hard post to do. Like really really difficult. Darn near impossible, actually. I feel like if I went past the fifth book I could go on and on forever.
But I went past the fifth book ...

IT'S 2008!!!
Man oh man. I feel like an old person saying this, but don't you guys remember when it was just turning 2000? And everyone thought the world as we know it was going to end. That was a long time ago. I was ten years old. I was just barely in mid school (and yes, it was called ...
