Mitch Albom... He did Tuesday's with Morie and we had to listen to it on tape in English... His voice drives me nuts, I don't know how he can be a sportscaster. >_>

I just wrote a term paper this last semester for Slaughterhouse. My teacher for that class though was... less than satisfactory, so I'll just say I didn't really enjoy it as much as I probably could have.
