Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends. My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale.

"My outlook is that little things are the trip. I’m very happy with very little. Maybe that’s why I have so much."

I am not sure when, how, or where I came across this quote. Maybe it was back in middle school when we were doing a calligraphy project. Who knows. What I do know, is that like many a song lyric, and other random pop culture worthless-ness, this quote has stuck with me.
In this world that is full of crap so much of the time, full of things that dissappoint (like a certain third book in a triology that shall remain nameless, and the movie Phenomenon), it's sometimes important to really enjoy the little things. Now, for granted I am going to come across as some Tony Robbins/hippie mix that's all sunshine and rainbows, but I guess I'll just have to live with that.
For example, today I was driving downtown, the window was open, the music was playing, and the sun was on my skin. It was awesome. Also, coming home from work today I realized that I enjoyed coming home to my house. I've done lots of work on it this summer, and now it is almost like living in a new place, a place that feels more like "home" than the house I've been in for the past 7 years.
So, I guess I am advocating that people listen to the late Linda McCartney's words and appreciate the little things. :)
