Just started (and nearly finished) The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. After that I have a couple of books by Rosy Thornton to read - she was my director of studies at uni and now writes novels.
"Everything is possible through Christ, who gives me strength". Phillipians 4:13
virgin suicides is one of my favouritesss!
but i haven't read any of the others.
Just finished that now.
It was weird! I don't quite know what I think of it. I enjoyed it, I think, but it was a bit strange. I think I wasn't quite sure about the narration, but out of personal preference rather than the quality of the book. I thought it was a very good book, I just don't know, yeah, if I enjoyed it!
i'm going to read jane eyre again coz 1 its exam text and i love it.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
'Can we protend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, i could really use a wish right now' BoB
Katie, I need to buy those books, I love Dexter :)
I've just read (again) Hey Nostradamus! by Douglas Coupland. I saw it in Age Concern and had to buy it, one of those books and I can read over and over and not tire of it.
reading The Informers by Bret Easton Ellis at the moment. i have read a few of his books now and im still not quite sure if i like them or not.
i was also reading a book called "children in the global sex trade" on the train the other day. i got interesting looks. :)
it's not a happy topic to read about before bed though as i found out the other night after i had dreams about being trafficked... :/
I roll over and hold on tightly, and whisper "If they want you, they're gonna have to fight me,"
On The Road is taking me a long time, and I get impatient.
on the road took me about four months to read, it was insane. i just couldn't really get into it & when i did, the good parts seemed to be over quickly. there's just too much stoned rambling.
i organised my bookshelf by colour (apart from harry potter shelf). i know this hasn't really got anything to do with this thread but there was nowhere else to tell anyone.
