In grade 9 I was about 13 years old and had the misfortune/fortune of having a lunch in the second period our of 5 classes the whole day. Most of the students had third or fourth period lunches, so I didn't have my friends, nor many others to make friends with, and being new and shy in a grade 9-13 high school I just spent most of my time in the library reading everything I could find. For example, I read all the Ian Fleming James Bond books (not like the movies), other movie novelizations like Jaws and Dawn Of The Dead (much scarier than the movie), Lord Of The Rings before it was cool, and even some lame Choose Your Own Adventure stories. I read stuff I'd never heard of, simply based on the cover and Dewey decimal system, such as Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy of five and of course I read Dune, Dune Messiah, Children Of Dune, and God Emperor Of Dune. I know there are two or three more in the series, but they weren't in my school's library then.
