Yes! The book is quite good, perhaps a bit better than the movie. I was really pleased with how the movie turned out, though. Both are worth the time.

I am reading 'Crying For Help' by Casey Watson.
It's pretty good. My house mate lent it to me. They also lent me 'Sing You Home' by Jodie Picoult which is my next book to read.

Just began 'Starter for ten' by David Nicholls because i enjoyed 'one Day'. So far it's alright.

Oh and I always have a Harry potter book on the go just because...it's Harry Potter.

I'm (still) reading Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere by Paul Mason. It's very interesting; unfortunately I have the concentration span of a gnat

I should try to actually finish books. From now on I'm only going to start a new book if I finished a book first.

I started reading Rascal by Sterling North today and will probably finish that in the morning. So far I have enjoyed it.

I have some old pony books by Jean Slaughter Doty, Josephine Pullein-Thompson and Ruby Ferguson ordered and they should arrive in the mail soon. Continuing on the theme of children's literature, I'm making my way through Laura Ingalls Wilder's books. I've read bits and pieces and adaptations over the years but I had only read the first two in their entirety. I just finished Farmer Boy so whenever I can get to the library I'll pick up the rest.

I've finally got around to reading the Twilight books; I hate to say it but I'm actually really enjoying it!

Next one will be 'Any Human Heart' by William Boyd



Take too many pictures, laugh too much and love like you've never been hurt because every 60seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back

Just started Mort by Terry Pratchett. Something short and funny before I move onto the third Dark Tower book.

Thinking I should really try to power through the tough first part of Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, I've been really distracted lately and the language wouldn't go into my head. :(
