Yesterday I finished Overheard in a Dream By Torey Hayden. It was okay but not as good as her books based on children she has worked with. It did have many layers but it just didn't hit me and I know I won't remember it as much as One Child, and Just Another Kid
I am now about a third of the way through Look Back in Hunger By Joe Brand. It is okay, and I can hear her saying the words to me as I read it. You can tell it is her writing but it hasn't done anything for me just yet. I don't normally read autobiography's of famous people, it is normal memoirs about mental health or abuse etc, so it is a different type of book for me!
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
It reminds me so much of a lot of things I read for my [English] degree, and gives me a whole new perspective on that era. [Leading into the 20th Century] There's stuff about love, art, politics, mental illness. It's a long book - 600 pages - but well worth the read if you like something a bit different and more intense.
When's it due to arrive? [You should see my pile of books to read! Ha!]
By July the 11th. I ordered it second hand from Amazon and only just realised it's coming from Luxembourg, lol. So much for ordering online because it's so convenient! I'm aiming to read all the 'must read' classics.
What's in your pile? Heh.
Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?

Sounds interesting. Will give it a look when I get through my pile!!
Just about to start "The Girl at the Lion d'Or" by Sebastian Faulks I've read some of his other books so looking forward to this one.
^ It's very good. Just got just over half way.
It also includes sexual abuse issues and women's quest for freedom. Forgot those in my earlier description!
Catherine, on my pile I have -
Before the Storm by Diana Chamberlain.
Bad, mad and sad by Lisa Appignanesi
Never Tell by Claire Seeber
The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld
The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult
Does stress damage the brain? by someone Bremner
... yeah! Only the Diana Chamberlain and stress ones are library books, so the rest are flexible, to start any time reads!
I'm currently reading some classics. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and if anyone tells me I'm reading this because of twilight I will shoot them >.<
I'm reading Pride & Prejudice next and then Junkie.
I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again and am now a couple chapters in to a re-read of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley :)
