Thanks, Emily!

I'm actually not reading any fanfics at the moment because the ones I have been reading haven't been updated in ages. I am however reading Inferno by Dan Brown and am having a hard time getting into it for some reason! All the other Robert Langdon stories sucked me in right away but this one is dragging, which is weird because it had a really fast paced start!

I'm actually reading my own fic right now. Not for enjoyment but because I want to finish the damn thing already! (H&H 2.0)

I'm not reading any fanfics except for the same ones I've been following forever (see my favorites if you care to know which ones), but I've been reading a lot of books this summer.
I just finished one called "If I Stay" that was recommended on Amazon; it's about a girl who has an out of body experience while she's in a coma and has to decide whether to live or die. I just love these light-hearted beach reads! ;)
Now I'm reading a young adult book called "Out of My Mind." One of my students read it this past year and highly recommended it to me, so I bought a copy for my classroom library and am finally getting around to reading it. It's great so far. It's about a girl who has severe cerebral palsy and can't walk or talk, so almost everyone assumes she's mentally handicapped too, but she's not; she's actually very intelligent and has a photographic memory. Reading it from a teacher's perspective is very interesting!
With the exception of the Jim Gaffigan book I mentioned on the book club board, every book I've read so far this summer has revolved around a character with some kind of physical disability or severe brain damage - apparently that's the theme of the summer LOL. Whatever keeps me going on Guilty Roads, I guess!

Along the lines of what I just posted, here's a related question:
Do you ever read books or watch movies/shows specifically because they relate to what you're writing about? It could be for the purpose or researching or just to inspire you.
