Just read a book, "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" by Mitch Albom. Pretty cool, thought I'd give it a look through since it does have something to do with what I wrote for my Paper 3. Everyone pretty much has different interpretations of what goes on in the afterlife, or if there even is one, and I guess it is interesting to see the different points of view.

The book is basically about a dead guy (duh?) who dies and goes to heaven, where he meets 5 different people, each who've had an impact on his life one way or another, and has a lesson to teach him, whether he knows who they are or have actually met them. It's actually pretty interesting I guess. And I loved the way the book begins, with the end of his life, because every ending has a beginning, we just don't know it at the time. <-- rough quote from book.

This is the first book I've read outside school since Harry Potter. And I actually enjoyed it! I might actually do more reading! Ya right. Oh ya, Harry Potter movie was.. not bad.. should watch it!
