well, this isn't a really positive post

I have started reading Kurt Vonnegut's "The Sirens of Titan" to my dad. My dad is currently in the intensive care unit in Reno, Nevada recovering from a debilitating spinal cord injury rendering him quadrapeligic for the rest of his life.

I started the book back in Connecticut in efforts to get my mind off of his accident, but kept getting lost in Vonnegut's satirical science fiction. My dad turned me onto Vonnegut at a young age and figured since my dad wont be able to hold a book up without the assistance of someone or some apparatus, that I would read to him in his room. He's pretty excited. I've never read to a grown man before, should be an interesting experience. I probably wont get close to reading as many books as I'd like this year, but I can tell you that I will be reading a lot about stem cell research and spinal cord injury.
