Fueled by friendship and sympathy, Antsy Bonano signs a month of his life over to his “dying” classmate Gunnar Umlaut. Soon everyone at school follows suit, giving new meaning to the idea of “living on borrowed time.” But does Gunnar really have six months to live, or is news of his imminent death greatly exaggerated? When a family member suffers a heart attack after donating two years to Gunnar, Antsy wonders if he has tempted fate by playing God. (review from Shelfari)
OK--this is the book that I'm reading next. I chose it because it's by Neal Shusterman and I always like his books. Have any of you read this?

The Compound by S.A. Bodeen
After spending the last six years in an underground compound following a nuclear attack with his parents and two sisters, fifteen-year old Eli begins to discover that his father has been perpetuating a hoax on the family, and it is up to Eli to save his family from his father's ever-increasing loss of sanity. (From Sequoyah Book Committee)
I just finished The Compound this weekend and it was a good book. The book starts out a little slow but then it turns into a real page-turner. This is definitely a book that you should read.
