Sad after Feed

I had a posting ready last Thursday, but never got a chance to past it into the blog. It was about a part in the book when things were new and hopeful. Titus and Violet go to the mall and run around and pretend to be interested in all this weird stuff to confuse the feed about what to advertise to them... to become un-classifiable. The scene reminded me so much of the scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn when she and they guy in the movie dash into a five and dime and pickpocket a mask. It was deviant but innocent.
Despite the fact that the book inspired me to think for myself, to open my eyes and learn, to ask questions, to care about the world, it left me feeling so sad. There was this moment in Orwell's 1984 when I really hoped that the main character would get to run off to the country side with the women that he met and they would fall in love and get to be together... alas, Feed by M.T. Anderson has crushed me.

Book three - already!?!

Howdy folks. I am waiting for The Alchemist to show up at my library and it just so happens my roommate has a class in which several novels are assigned. They are all looking very interesting. I think we should further investigate.
Well... it just so happens that this morning on my way out to catch the bus, I grabbed one of the novels, Feed by M. T. Anderson, just to have something to read on the bus and low-and-behold I am completely sucked in. So how about we do book three second and the first second book third and the second second book fourth? I had fun typing that as confusing as possible.
Whatever the order, this is one that would be fun to check out.
