Book recommendation

In my quest to avoid research, I started reading this little thing. My word count yesterday? Zero. Seriously. I cannot believe myself, but I could not let the book go. It was stuck on me like glue. I barely ate. So not a good thing to start reading if you're busy with something else. Especially as it's 640 pages long. Which is what I wanted, since I prefer long novels to short ones, but I thought I would be able to put it down. *shakes head* Hopeless.

I feel so tired.

I've noticed something. Discussing Heroes online works while in real life it really doesn't. Mostly because online I can chose what discussions to take part of while in real life I always end up talking to someone whose opinion is the opposite of mine. The first time the person I was talking to liked volume 3 and though Peter was kinda pointless without his original endless powers. After my trying to explain my view resulted in a confused stare, a change in subject rapidly ensued. Yesterday it was over someone complaining that Mohinder has disappeared and that he's not even doing the voiceovers anymore, at which I instantly thought, "That's why the voiceovers don't annoy me anymore!" But of course I couldn't say that. I just stayed very quiet and turned over the meatballs on the stove. I hate disagreeing so thoroughly with people's fannish opinions to their face. It's so awkward. Oh, and don't even bring up Claude.

"Who?"

"The invisible guy?"

*blank stare* "Oh yeah, that guy."

*facepalm*

How am I supposed to have a conversation with people?
