yeah.
i was so excited when i saw it, cos finding a particular book there is kindof rare cos it's a second hand shop. but anyway, i read the passion about two years ago, &jeez, i absolutley fell in love with the way that she writes. i read the introduction/preface to oranges on the train on the day i bought it. and she sounds so lovely. like, i'd just like her to be my friend. or auntie. |
Today i bought jennifer government by Max Barry, i found it in oxfam.
I was then going to get the wasp factory by iain Banks as ive wanted it for ages. But saw a book in the recommended section in Waterstones, which had a review saying that it was more messed up than american psycho so obviously i had to have it. Its called 'Kill your friends' its by John Niven. I want to start them both but i am still reading the contortionists handbook, which is actually really good i just havent had much chance to read. Its such a short book and ive been reading it for ages. |
I am reading Bronte's Story

impulse by ellen hopkins
really good (albeit a *bit* trig at points, at least for me) :) i read crank too. and i wanna read the others by her |
Just finished Pretending You Care: the Retail Employee Handbook by Norman Feuti - it was hysterical, and at the same time, oh so true! Now I'm onto Threshold by Caitlin R Kiernan - who I love, so I'm looking forward to the book!
<3! |
I've just read 'the children of hurin' by J.R.R.Tolkien. I thouht it was brilliant, it takes a bit to get into though. Yu'll be rewarded if you hang in there and carry on reading :D
I'm now reading the history of middle earth. I like it apart from the editorial notes of the history behind each individual section (i just skp them) :P LOL |
i'm reading Daniella westbrooks autobiography.."the other side of nowhere" It's actually so much better than I expected it to be.
Next i'll be reading "young wives tales" |
I'm reading Hidden by Cathy Glass, first book i've read in a long while.
|

I've just started reading Mick Foley's autobiography
He was a wrestler and I wanted to read it ever since it came out like in 1999/2000 It looks really interesting actually |
Just finished High Fidelity, I ended up really liking it, I didnt think I would at first.
And now I finally found The Amber Spyglass, I just started it. |
sarah: thats good to hear, because i only bought it cos i wanted to pay on my card and had to find another book to push it over £5.
to above: ah, high fidelity is so good. it's one of my favourites ever. |
The Lion and the Unicorn by George Orwell. I only started it this morning but I'm a fair way in already. He's been telling me what it means to be English in that beautiful, yet simple, way he does. Genius.

Just finished the Heroin Diaries - Nikki Sixx. Started The Grass Is Singing by doris lessing. She won the nobel prize for literature last year! Wooo!

I just read "Letter To a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris and "A mis amigos de la locura" by Ernesto Ruiz Ortiz. Both were amazing, though short.
I am now reading "The Night Listener" by Amisted Aupin (I hope I spelled it right). |
