*good read*

I am reading this really interesting book call 'Messenger'. It tells the story of a mother who has passed this terrible life threatening illness on to each of her four children. Three of whom pass away as either infants or toddlers. Her last son Mattie is an extremely intelligent child who learns to read at three and begins writing poetry at age 4.... Any way. Mattie ends up passing away at 13 as well, I know this because of the prologue. But, he lived each minute with the knowledge that his body would fail and that he would follow his siblings. So, he decided to become a peace maker... It is really... really neat... So if you are in the mood for a deep read... You gotta check this out.
