Yes i would, it reads a little like marble, which doesn't make sense, but it's very smooth and pretty. It has a lot of heart in it and I really like it so far, just past the half way point :)

Glad you enjoyed it! I am enjoying it so far aswell....may get it finished tonight!

book 4 . the secret scroll ( its the 4th book of Daughters of the moon by lynne ewing )

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Just read "Baby X" by Harry Keeble. Awesome, though obviously saddening, book. Must read for anyone wanting to go into social work/policing/child protection.

Dracula.

Required reading for school.

Ugh.

I love Dracula. There are parts that drag, Mina doesn't half go on about crap, but the first part of the story is brilliant and pretty eerie. And when Renfield comes into it things get a little more interesting and weird.

I haven't got up to that point yet. I'm not minding the book, actually; it's more the fact I'm being made to read it that I object to. :-p

Yeah it is never fun being forced to read something but sometimes you start to appreciate the reason you are told to work with that writer and it surprises you how well you connect with the material or how it draws you in. T'is a good read for the most part :-D I love the setting of Whitby for some reason.

Life in Rewind - Terry Murphy.

I'm currently reading In the Flesh: The Cultural Politics of Body Modification by Victoria Pitts.

It's really interesting; the first chapter was a bit dry, but I am at the section about women that are body modifiers, so naturally my ears perk up. lol

On a sidenote, I listened to this podcast about the future of book publishing and the professor commented that about half of college students don't pick up a book after they graduate. Half! Isn't that sad? Why people don't read is beyond me.....

I'm reading Red Tears by Joanna Kenrick, I can relate to Emily (the main character), it's a really good book

i lent you that book! although its abbie's
do you think that Emily is a bit over the top and exagerated at times?

My Religion and Philosophy teacher saw me reading Ulysses the other day and was amazed that someone was actually bothering to read it. Apparently it's the most bought and unread book in Ireland. I'm really loving it so far; the dialogue is incredibly realistic "Dublinese" and the stream-of-consciousness narrative really sucks you in. I'm loving the parallels with Homer's Odyssey too.

Good on you for getting through Ulysses. I'm one of the millions of people who bought it, started it and... gave up on it.

I'm just finished Engleby - Sebastian Faulks. Good, but not as engaging as Birdsong.

Perverting the Course of Justice - Inspector Gadget.

I have just finished Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and now I'm reading Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. :)

Birdsong is a great novel.

Just finished The Picture of Dorian Gray. I didn't like it much at first, I was annoyed that no one seemed to notice his eternal youth... But it got better, and the ending was far better than the film's one.

I love The Picture of Dorian Grey. Oscar Wilde was a magnificent bastard of the highest order.

I've just read Hunger, the second part of the Gone series.

I'm also reading:
- It by Stephen King
- The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
- And a few books in Dutch.

It and The Bell Jar are two of my all-time favourite books. I've been pestering my mother to read The Bell Jar for ages.

the informers - bret easton ellis.
it's okay so far. short stories can kinda drag.

Picture Perfect by Jodi Picoult.

About halfway through The Book Thief now :)

I was looking that up the other day, I will give it a try eventually, my reading pile is crazyness xD

I'm reading my way through the True Blood series.
A Few chapters through the fourth book now. (Dead to the world, I think?)

Shoot the Damn Dog - Sally Brampton.

Amazing tale


I read a couple more chapters of The Book Thief earlier.

Scar Tissue - Anthony Kiedis

I'm tempted to buy the Kurt Cobain journals, but everyone I've asked seems to think it's a complete waste of money...has anyone read them??

Thirteen Reasons Why-Jay Asher

Thanks Carmen, I'll try the library :) I know waterstones want around £15 for it so I was sceptical at first!!

I've just finished "Confinement" by Katharine McMahon. Excellent book, and gripped me well into 3/4 way through, after which it wasn't so absorbing.
I've just started "Sacred Hearts" by Sarah Dunant, and am really enjoying it so far.

I found a lovely read in Asda the other day. 'Words can describe' by Abi Grant. I've only read a few chapters but it's already proving to be beneficial.

I've never found anyone else who's read those! Did you like them?

I just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

'Alex Box' by Rankin. I dont know whether it counts as a book though cause its mainly photography.

As regards to actual literaturre Im reading 'deoraíocht' by Pádraig Ó Conaire - yup its in Irish :)

Just finished Before I Die By Jenny Downham - I 'enjoyed' it but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but definitly worth the read!

Going to start New Moon By Stephanie Meyer - I didn't readlly like Twilight but thought I would continue reading this series considering I've seen the films so far aswell!

The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger.

The latest in the dresden files by Jim Butcher

I'm reading Brave New World.

I love this book, i read it in school. I hated it at first but once we started studying it i couldn't put it down. I think it is very relevant to today and where we could easily end up.

I have just finished The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. I particularly love the language and innuendo. Some of the ideas of society put forward by this book are very interesting. If you get the penguine classic version you can read some of the things written about the book back in 1890. The things they thought were rude and vulgar are halarious, those ppl would turn in the graves if they could see what is accepted in society these days.

I'vejust finished The Irresistible Revolution Living As An Ordinary Radical by Shane Claiborne and thoroughly enjoyed it, Now going to start One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

Right now I'm reading:

The Bell Jar- for some reason I'm finding it hard to get in to, I lost interest last time about 100 pages in and put it down.

Native Son by Richard Wright

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb.

My english teacher gave her 'favourite student' (!) a present today - 'The secret life of bees' as she's leaving. Im only on p33 but so far its excellent!

My English teacher lent me this a while ago; he'd gotten it as a present from someone and didn't know if he'd like it, so he wanted my opinion (he had a few books to get through so I guess he decided to share the load). I absolutely hated it.

As far as I know he didn't read it.

That is one of my all time fave books. I read it when I was 12ish and it really resonated with me, I still remember parts of it vividly. It is pretty graphic for a 12 year old I know!

I'm reading "Inivisible Monsters" By Chuck Palahniuk right now. He has a very unique and distinguishing style of writing. It's like marmite. :D

yesterday i finished reading "the time travellers wife" by audrey niffenegger- which was a lovely, sad at times story.
last night i started reading "get me out of here" by rachel reiland

Me, Myself and Them.

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.

Probably one of the most honest works I have ever read.
