boredom

dear blog readers,

with classes over and summer soon approaching, there is less work to do. once i really join a lab this may change but for now i am bored out of my mind. i've read pretty much every book that i own at least once. i need recomendations of good books/plays/things in general to read. even if the lab work picks up, i'll still need things to read while i work at gpscy (wed and sat this week). so, any ideas, suggestions? let me know!

thanks,
catherine, who has nothing to do right now.
