ive just finished breaking dawn, and it was EPIC, i loved it...
i can see myself reading that pleanty more times....
deffo worth saving up for.
ive just started reading undomestic godess for te second time,
i cried the first time, and i just fell in love with it, so im testing to see if it has the same impact the second time
Well I finished Juliet, Naked By Nick Hornby last night. I did enjoy it but I didn't find it as funny and easy going as A Long Way Down which I have read by him! Interesting and worth reading but I would maybe try and borrow it of someone!
Also read What I Was By Meg Rossoff - Not great but as it was a teenage type book it got me reading a wee bit more again.
Now I have started The Amber Spyglass By Philip Pullman - it has been sitting in my bookshelf for YEARS so thought 'will finally get this trilogy finished!!!
I loved 'A long way down'.I haven't read Juliet,naked,but I heard from good sources it's not that great.
You can buy me with a coffee,I'm so cheap. Got bitten fingernails&a head full of past;Got a broken heart&your name on my cast.
&&I wanted her to tell me that she will never wake me.
I just read Handle With Care by Jodi Piccoult :) it was very good i recommend it, some bits were a bit iffy though...
Im now reading Change of Heart by Jodi Piccoult :) Its very good. i would also recommend that. Im only half way through though but its good :).
Have you read 'My sister's keeper' by J Picoult?It's great.
Has anyone read Franz Kafka's stories?Is it just me or he has an obsession with food and weight?And he wrote 'The hunger artist' which is,in my opinion,about anorexia.Well,it might be MY obsession with food which tells me he's got an obsession with food,but in every single story he says something about food and weight.Weird.
Later edit:Ok,I've just googled it and apparentely Kafka had anorexia.I knew it haha!

Just started A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. Disturbing in a lot of ways, but very educational. Makes you realise how the US History textbooks they made us in the States read are total BS
I've recently read Wuthering Heights and P.S I Love You. They're both amazing books. My favourite books are Go Ask Alice and Wuthering Heights. I suggest reading them if you ever have the time!

Yeah i have read that too :) its awesome :) made me cry quite a lot though! I have read most of her books she is my new favourite author :) Have you read some of her other ones? :)
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said "I just don't care"?

i just read Dear John by Nicholas Sparks (or something) because i wanted something light-hearted after Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel which i found a bit draining.
Now i have the new Chuck Palahniuk Tell All. I'm not too far in yet and i think i will have to read it at quite a fast pace to really get into it. I never finished his last book, Pygmy, because i didn't really have time or would always be too tired to keep up but now i pretty much only have free time and i have a big pile of books i've picked up from charity shops to read.
I roll over and hold on tightly, and whisper "If they want you, they're gonna have to fight me,"
Right now I'm reading four books. O_O I don't know why I do that. The Tenth Circle - I'm almost finished that and I like it a lot, it's by Jodi Picoult, but it can be quite triggering, taking into account abuse and SH. The Bell Jar - I haven't read much of it, but I quite like it. Time Traveller's Wife - Haven't read more of it in aaages, so I should really catch up, it's VERY confusing though. The Lovely Bones - WAYYY better than the film, very easy to get into and read.
I'm gonna tap him like a maple tree. I'm gonna search him for some syrups. I'm gonna be having sex with him.
I really enjoyed 1984, it was easier to read than I was expecting. What did you think of it?
I thought it had some interesting ideas within it. I found it dragged in some parts but that towards the end it was more exciting. The very end was so depressing. I liked some of the words in newspeak :)
Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?
I really enjoyed 1984; it's one of those books I'd expected to be horrible, but I found it an incredibly fascinating book - what did you think?
If you enjoy it, I'd recommend reading Brave New World soon too. It's quite contrasting in philosophy, but amazing to read together.

Bell Jar is one of those books you have to read. It's just quite moving, even if somebody hasn't experienced mental illness - which I really, really like, I think that's quite a skill to have.
Time Traveller's wife is very confusing, haha. Good book, though - did you see the film first?
Lovely Bones - haven't seen the film, but the book was quite moving and yeah, very easy to get into and read.

Thanks for the recommendation :)
Written what I thought of it a couple of posts back :)
