STOP reading JCO right now!!

She is a complete downer and that book is a complete downer and you do NOT need any more downers, young lady!!

I assign you to read STRAIGHT MAN by Richard Russo.

It's funny and it's about academic life and it's GOOD.

It's antivenom for JCO.

Then, because it's Halloween-ish you may read WHERE ARE YOU GOING WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN by JCO if you wanna.

and Sundae?

When you're done with Discovery of Witches I want your review on my desk by 3:30. Please make sure you do it in crayon this time.
