Freeze Tag on the Highway takes place during the last week of summer at Camp Wazeecha, a therapeutic boosting camp for teens with developmental disorders, low self-esteem, and authority issues.

While the brochure promises positive results, the camp’s director, Jake, sedates himself with the kid's medication while leaving them to play on the jungle gyms of their chemical imbalances. When most of the staff quits in protest, Jake is forced to watch a few of the kids he despises more than the camp itself.

I just went and bought the books I plan to read this summer...(Spent a little less than $3 for 12 used paper backs...)- some Robin Cook, Patricia Cornwell,Tami Hoag, and a couple other authors.. Pretty Much psychological thriller sort of stuff...

I just started reading "Mutation" by Robin Cook...I'm 5 chapters in...so good so far...

Been watching some English crime movies by Reginald Hill and they are good. Will check out more of his books this summer.

A great new book, just published... "Basketball Junkie". A true story about a Massachusetts high school basketball stars rise to pro ball and his demise into heroin addiction. Very powerful story.

Just finished rereading Civilization and Its Discontents and am looking for the book he wrote before that one (attacks the idea of god) and also his book on jokes.

The Future of an Illusion. The one he wrote after "Civilization and Its Discontents" is also about religion - "Moses and Monotheism."
