You're referring to the short story I think? There's a novel and it's pretty awesome. Do you have any suggestions for books to read?

I made a list of books not too long ago that I plan on reading soon, right now I'm reading the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I hope you find a book on here that you would love to read, and after you finish reading it, don't hesitate to tell me all about it!

Hey, I just wanted to suggest that you read "Flowers for Algernon" if you haven't read it already. It's a brilliant book, and I think you would enjoy it very much.

Thanks very much for the suggestion! I read the abridged version in the eighth grade, but is there a novel version?

sorry. but if two family members are consenting adults, it's none of our business either.

My stance would change if the two partners didn't know that they were related beforehand, were cousins by marriage, or step siblings. But I don't care if it's two consenting adults, a daughter-brother, or father-son type of thing, is just not okay, there are no excuses.

I have a new, more personal blog.

Check it out, it's fairly (or very) new, but maybe you'll be surprised.

I think you should tell that guy that you regret not listening to him. He might smile and appreciate the thought.

Too bad he has a girlfriend now and lives 16 hours away, three years later! I do appreciate the positivity though.

I don't know. I think you wrote something about it once. What do you think of it, and how come you aren't?

Before my parents got divorced, they were pretty open about religion and how they raised their kids. My siblings and I partook in both Muslim and Christian Holidays and things of that nature (my mother is now a devout christian and a formerly less-devout catholic). We were given the choice to decide what we wanted to believe in (with of course a little encouragement from both parents. It felt like being pulled in two directions at times.) After they got divorced when I was a six years old, my siblings and I lived with our mother and that's when we really became influenced by Christianity. Although I am not a christian anymore (but I still believe in God), I have nothing against my father's religion. Being able to experience and learn about two sides of such a heavy topic really gave me some insight and respect for both religions. My dad is not a devout Muslim and isn't too keen on shoving religion down my throat but he holds his morals and religion very close to his heart, and for that, I am forever grateful and appreciative.
