Need Something Fun to Read?

Instead of being all serious and boring as usual, here's a link to some fiction to read. I mentioned The Morning News a while back, but if you haven't checked it out, here's another reminder. Especially, make sure you read all of Sarah Hepola's choose your own adventure story about college freshman Elisabeth Eckleman. Just as you would guess, at the end of every installment, you, the reader, get to choose what Elisabeth does in the next installment. Hepola then goes ahead and writes according to the audience's decision. Hepola just wrote the eighth installment and, like the rest, it's fun and light reading, a great way to take your mind off the massiveness of decoding the meaning of all things digital (or whatever you like to do with your free time). So go ahead, spend an hour reading something fun. Here are the links with descriptions:
