In January of 2005 I started this blog as a record of books I’ve read as I was afraid I would forget what I have read. I have often referred back to my own blog to remember a book's contents or see what I have read by an author. I have enjoyed passing my books on to friends or recommending books to read. I know I have missed recording some, but in general I try to keep up with what I have read or listened to.

Unwind by Neal Shusterman (2007)
A gift from Maria on my birthday, this brought up a very disturbing idea. What if we could "unwind" the kids that we didn't like? If they didn't behave or live up to our expectations, a family could choose to "unwind" a child before their 17th birthday. Not killing them, but using their body parts for others that were ill or had lost a limb or organ. So three kids that are ready to be unwound find themselves running away and find a place for similar youngsters. At times creepy, but some unique ideas being floated.
