The last book I read was The Ruins by Scott Smith. It held my interest but I was unimpressed. It wasn't scary at all and although it did have a bit of suspense in dragged at some parts.

Right now I am reading A Simple Plan by Scott Smith. My wife picked it up for me when she saw I was almost done with the other one. It's decent so far. I'm not sure how I feel about Scott Smith as a writer. He holds my attention but the stories are lacking a bit.

but honestly whats the difference if i ready this in a book or on the internet?


The Grasshopper and the Ant

The Grasshopper having sung
All the summer long,
Found herself lacking food
When the North Wind began its song.
Not a single little piece
Of fly or grub did she have to eat.

She went complaining of hunger
To the Ant's home, her neighbour,
Begging there for a loan
Of some grain to keep herself alive
Til the next season did arrive,
"I shall pay you," she said
"Before next August, on my word as an animal.
I'll pay both interest and pricipal."

The Ant was not so inclined:
this not being one of her faults.
"What did you do all summer?
Said she to the grasshopper.

"Night and day I sang,
I hope that does not displease you."

"You sang? I will not look askance.
But now my neighbour it's time to dance."
