book by stephen christian

today i got my book i've been waiting for,'the orphaned anything's'. this book is by stephen christian the lead singer of anberlin and i really didn't know what it was about. i'm not much for fiction, but i've opened up. i wish that i had more time in the day to read. for once in my life, i've started to enjoy reading. so many test to study for, so many places to go, so many things i'm involved with... i wish i could pause time and do all those things and then get back to life. i am going to write some blogs about this book, i'm really looking forward to it, it just might take a while. i was excited to get it today.

this is the description on the back.

*an "i'm up, what more do you want from me?" sticker hideously controls the back of ayden kosacov's bedroom door. in his mind what started as a joke is slowly becoming his 'glorious and underrated mantra.' ayden kosacov is alive, and that is about all you can say. in the throws of a mundane and jejune life ayden is slowly coming to the realization that if all his world is a stage than he wouldn't care if he did or did not miss the final scenes. through an almost 'accidental' suicide attempt and the recovery that soon follows, ayden learns that there is more to living that just being alive. finding his way through diverse experiences and people he comes to terms with god, his family, and finally himself.*

i'm excited to read this book. christian gives encouragement, life lessons, and hope through his fiction work. hopefully i'll have more time soon.
