Melancholic anicca - I love The Perks of Being a Wallflower must read it again, but didn't enjoy The Catcher in the Rye but it is a lot of people's favourite book so hope you enjoy it!

If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
red ribbons were weaving
upon the young girls skin.
a trail of red weaved deep,
caused by pain from within

Mistaken Identity
by the Van Ryn and Cerak family with Mark Tabb

...it is actually based on a true story about how one girl was burried under under the wrong name, and another girl in a coma who is being cared for by the wrong family.

it is quite interesting

Lozza that book sounds really interesting! May look it up - though I have far too many books to read just now!

I might read Lucky depending how I get on with The Lovely Bones after my Gran has finished with it.

I really want to go and buy lots of books - also saw some for £1 that I would like in Asda but I have about 30 books to read so trying to get through them first - but so many books sound good!!

You can never have too many books!

Also - just to say, don't decide whether or not to read 'Lucky' based on what you think of 'The Lovely Bones'. I read 'TLB' and quite liked it, it was alright but fairly average. But I'm really, really enjoying (if that's the right word!) 'Lucky'. They're really quite different.

The Lovely Bones. I'm not sure if I like it though.



I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me.

I've got The Book Thief by Markus Zusak on my bedside table to read.
I really want to, but it's narrated by death which puts me off starting it slightly! x

I really liked 'Lucky'.

Now reading 'Mad, Bad and Sad: A History of Women and the Mind Doctors from 1800 to the Present' - Lisa Appignanesi.

Kafka is brilliant. A little tough to figure out at times, but brilliant.

Last read: The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. I can't see myself reading it again. I liked it fine, but there's only so much poetry a man can take.

Currently reading: The Outsider (or The Stranger depending on publisher) by Albert Camus. I've read it before, multiple times, but I love it.

Next: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.

i think the outsider is much better reading the second time 'round. the first time i read it i found it kindof boring. but for some reason the second time was much more fun.



take what you love
burn it down.

I would recommend Camus' Stranger/Outsider too. Quite short, and easy to read.

I'm currently trying to work my way through Foucault books. Academic, but quite easy and interesting. I don't have time to read anything non-academic :(
