I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Still reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Coming up to halfway soon, it's a really interesting story so far.

It is so-so so far...



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
red ribbons were weaving
upon the young girls skin.
a trail of red weaved deep,
caused by pain from within

Oooh, that's in my book cupboard waiting to be read. Do you recommend it?




Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.

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 :)

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.

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.

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 I love the setting of Whitby for some reason.
