Right now i'm reading a book called Searching For Bobby Orr by Stephen Brunt.  It is a non-fiction autobiography of a famous Canadian Hockey player in the 1970's.  As a member of the Boston Bruins, one of the greatest players of all time, "#4 Bobby Orr" changed the face of hockey as the first purely offensive defenceman but has his career cut short by mismanagement of a knee injury.  I'm really enjoying it so far.

Right now I'm reading a book called "The Time Travelers - Book 1 in 'The Gideon Trilogy'" by Linda Buckley-Archer. The reason I'm reading this book is because my mom was supposed to buy me a book I asked her to find, but she couldn't find it so she bought me 2 other new books I never saw its series before and this book is one of them. That was last year's story.
So far I've read 90 pages, and it's talking about how Peter and Kate who barely know each other stumbles upon an "anti-gravity machine" and falls back to the past (from 21st century to the 18th). But a villain stole the machine which's their only hope of getting back. Now they're staying in a rich family's mansion with the help of Gideon Seymour who helped sort things out for them. Next they'll be going to find the thief and... I don't know for now.

Right now I am reading a great non-fiction book called The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan.            

It is about the food that we, as omnivores (meaning we can eat almost any food we encounter), choose to consume.  The author discusses the challenges of eating in ways that are natural, healthy, affordable, realistic and good for the environment-- it's not easy to do all of those things at once!  I'm really enjoying it and am learning a lot about the state of the global food industry and the lies being told to us by corporations such as McDonalds-- don't worry, I won't tell you.
