Okkie dokkiee.
The next book that I'm going to read is Go Ask Alice by Anonymous. I chose to read this book next because I've been wanting to read it ever since 7th grade. In 7th grade, so many of my fellow students read it, and kept pestering me to read it, but for some reason I could never get my hands on it. I either just forgot to go to library and get it, or when I did go to the library, I just forgot to get the book. Ehh. So yeah. . .I basically wanted to get this book because of recommendations from friends. I actually don't know much about this book. All I know is that it's about a girl who has a great life, but because of someone/something she gets into drugs, and she can't stop her addiction. From this book, I hope to learn more about the dangers of drugs, and how even one try [of drugs], you can get addicted. I also hope to learn about this girl's life, and see if she ever tries to get off drugs, which she probably will try to do, but I think that she won't be able to fully recover.
The Author: Anonymous
This book is supposedly a nonfiction book, in the voice of a 15 year old American girl. According to wikipedia, the book never mentioned the author's name, but people refer to the author as "Alice" just for convienence. Many believe that this diary is "largely or wholly the work of its purported editor, Beatrice Sparks." Sparks has stated that Go Ask Alice was based on the diary of one of her patients, but that she added some fictional incidents.
One interesting fact is that even though Beatrice Sparks has admitted to adding fictional events to Go Ask Alice, some think that she may have made up more scenes that she has admitted to, because Sparks has wrote another "diary book" called Jay's Journal and even though she has claimed that is was based on the diary of one of her patients, the family members of that patient disown that book.
Reading the Book
This book has 192 pages, so if I read 100 pages a week, it'll take me about 2 weeks to read this book. But I know that I'll probably be done this book by Friday (at the latest) because this book sounds really interesting, and I can't wait to read it. =]

i wanted to read the book "Go Ask Alice", but i couldn't get it... :( It seems very interesting!!!! After you read it, tell me if it's good or not. ok?? thanks:D
I really don't know if I would read "Go Ask Alice" just because its about drugs and Alice in Wonderland. I grew up with that movie and the story of her so I wouldn't want to mix reality with fantasy.
But then again it would be quite an experiment if I try something different and turn out to like it.
Anyway, great job on your blog, I can tell you put lots of effort into it. =]
and I have to talk to you about this book in person.
