It makes me sound intelligent but actually its really really easy to read, and quite funny too. Though I doubt even Stephen Hawking can ever make me understand physics properly.
Jo, Poppy Shakespeare is really good does help a bit if you saw it on TV but it is on 4OD, if you want like diary kind of things Blood Sweat and Teat and More Blood More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea are paramedics diary's that are brilliant, both by the same guy.
In Stitches is another diary but of an A & E doctor and that is brilliant too!
Moab is my Washpot is good but that's because I'm a sucker for Stephen Fry :P
Girl, interrupted is also good, a deffinate if you've seen the film too!
The world is just illusion always trying to change me.
You will find wonder wherever you can, and spread joy whenever you are able.
I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, divide within me. - Frankenstein.
Oh oh oh. I'm so pleased with your recommendations! Thank you. But also, I've asked for Blood, Sweat and Tea and Moab is my Washpot (a lot of my friends prefer it to The Fry Chronicles) for xmas, so that's very exciting. will keep an eye out for Poppy Shakespeare and Girl, Interrupted - I broke of a bit of a lifetime rule on the latter, that I wouldn't watch a film before I read the book. But def sounds interesting, especially as I did love the film.
Thank you :)

I'm almost done with The Plot Against America by Phillip Roth. I'm about halfway through La Cloche de Detresse, or The Bell Jar in French. I'm also slowly but surely making my way through Victor Hugo's Contemplations, in the original French.
im reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami (havent really got into it yet) and The Interrogative Mood: A Novel? by Padgett Powell (kinda weird but intriguing)
I just read the white queen by phillipa gregory (she wrote the other boleyn girl) and it was gooood. About the war of roses. And i usually dont like historical fiction lol
“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”
“If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”
Just finished re-reading The Chronicles of Narnia. They are fairly enjoyable, if you don't mind the religion, bad pacing and the older, proper English.
I just started reading Gone to the Crazies by Alison Weaver again. Also once I get it I'll be reading John Dies at the End by David Wong. Super excited about that one.
