The last book I read was Through The Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, which I finished in a day. It was really good.
I'll probably be reading a war book for English Literature soon though.

What did you think of it?
Hahaha I finished it in the first lesson whilst the teacher was reading it out, I read ahead and I'm a very fast reader. I ****ed up my exam though by answering a question in my exam where we had to talk about 2 characters by only talking about one and therefore only got half the marks. I didn't realise until afterwards when someone asked me which characterS I wrote about :mad:

Haha, I dont actually like reading, but the book is intresting. Especially because we have watched more than half of the film, so now when Im reading, I can picture the characters and everything.

Of Mice and Men is soooo good!! I loved reading that in school. But we watched the film about 10000000 tims so I ended up hating it.
Blood Brothers was better though.

It's not that bad. I think that if a book is sooo good they'll eventually make it into a movie so whats the point.
Even in school I never read the books, I usually just look up summaries on the interweb or ask my mate what its about.

Still Twilight and Battle Royale. I'm not a slow reader, quite fast really just haven't had a good space of time to finish them off.

I finished my very first proper book a couple of weeks ago, 400 pages long it was and took me 2 months, for some that's ages but considering I only really read it on the way and home from work, I was impressed. It was called Sweetie, really good story but very graphic.
I've just started Daddy's Little Earner, it's a true story and it's shocking, which is probably what attracted me to it.

I'm reading Frankenstein
I didn't get it at first but as soon as I did I really enjoyed it, after reading a book like this it shows how wrong the films are
