we are the fallen
we are the wounded
we are the shattered
we are the unheard
we are the brave
we are the strong we are Survivors. and..... we are the future
we fallen can still rise by the wings of hope that lifts us~
This week, I have read: Chasing Vermeer, The Pearl, Othello, The Wrong Boy, Fever Pitch (which I enjoyed, but not as much as I would have if I had any interest in football), The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe, Eleven O'clock Chocolate Cake, Emma, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Two Caravans; and I'm now rereading Markus Zusak's 'The Book Thief', which I adore and am reading three chapters at a time with another book in between each one because I don't want the story to end, or to have to take it back to the library.
...I love books...
I suppose that's the one upside to being utterly, perhaps irreparably broken.There'll always be enough pieces of you to go around. They just need to be careful not to catch their fingers on the sharp bits.
^ I get shocked at the ammount some people read! I only managed like 8 books last year, my mum managed 1 maybe!
I think its like if you have time to read etc, like I have finished two books in one day, but can take ages gget through another. Don't think it is cause you are slow! A book in a week is fast in my eyes!
You made up your mind to torture mine!
If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
For me it really depends on how much time I have to read. I read To Kill a Mockingbird in about 8 hours, and Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows in one day, but the last time I read The Outsider (only just over 100 pages long)it took two or three days because I was too busy to just sit down and read.
Just read: The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by Walter Benjamin. Turns out it had three essays in it - the title one (which I barely understood to be honest), Kafka: On the Tenth Anniversary of His Death (which I didn't understand AT ALL) and Picturing Proust which, thankfully, was much easier to follow than the first two, which were practically incomprehensible.
Currently reading: Shadow of a Dark Queen by Raymond E. Feist. Surprisingly, I'm enjoying it. I didn't think I would, as I'm not a big fan of fantasy. Still, I have noticed some pretty glaring clichés... half-elves. Why must sci-fi and fantasy writers include half-breeds? It's pure nonsense! And it's always half-elves too, never half-dwarfs or half-gnomes... oh well.
Reading next: Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett. Recommended to me by my English teacher after a rather surreal creative writing assignment. I've heard it is one of the weirdest plays in existence. Should be cool.

Yeah, my last book took me four weeks! I don't mind really, it's just that people read so much!
i am now reading silent boy by Tory Hayden which is really good to. I love all of her books.
I think i am going to read twlight next.
"The body faught to survive, it evacuated toxins in any way it knew how. It made clots to stop the bleeding.Bones would find the quickest ways to heal themselves. It made scar tissue. In the face of violence towards it, it would become violent. It was amazing, yet excruciating. "
Its taken me ages to read a 200 odd page book..like over 2 weeks..but then I don't read it constantly or even every night. I think I've only read it two nights.
Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in
I finished scarred by Sophie Andrews last night. I liked it but found it very triggering! Felt her adult life after hospital was rather rushed though! But nice book!
Just finished the thought that counts by jared douglas kant - was good but maybe not as flowing as previous books in this mental health initiative series but was informative (info was good but personal story didn't flow aswell as others)
dono what I'll start later!!
You made up your mind to torture mine!

prozac nation. how I haven't read it before now I don't know. Maybe just coz dont want anyone seeing it on my book shelf. I like it so far but it has made me cry a few times so far, and made me angry in places too.
