New Moon

I was craving a good book last week, well not really a good book, but a fast read, and I had just finished re-reading twilight so I decided to pick up New Moon. I've been resisting this for awhile because the series seems so frivolous and shallow and so... middle school (or high school I suppose). I was definitely a suspenseful and engrossing read, but it was altogether too much like candy; It was all sugar with no real meat. Still, is was amusing.

"I began to suspect that I was having some kind of hallucination. Triggered, no doubt, by the memory-the deja vu, the strange familiarity of the situation.

I ran through the possibilities quickly in my head. Option one: I was crazy. That was layman's terms for people who heard voices in their heads.

Possible.

Option two: My subconscious mind was giving me what it thought I wanted. This was a wish fulfillment-a momentary relief from pain by embracing the incorrect idea that he cared whether I lived or died. Projecting what he would have said if A) he were here, and B) he would be in any way bothered by something bad happening to me.

Probable.

I could see no option three, so I hoped it was the second option and this was just my subconscious running amok, rather than something I would need to be hospitalized for.

My reaction was hardly sane though-I was grateful."
