Have you ever seen life is beautiful, The Italian film?

I don't know - I just thought it would be a good film for you to watch. There's probably a script book you could find at least.

The book is so much better than the book.

I love Patrica Cornwell and Kathy Reichs books - I also wanted to be a forensic scientist.

Jody Picoult is quite a good author for easy reads - she wrote My Sisters Keeper (again book miles better than movie) and lots of others - my favourite by her is called Nineteen Minutes about a bullied boy who goes on the rampage in a school and kills loads of pupils.

Have you seen Bully? That was a great movie, about some kids who kill one of their friends, who had been bullying them. I'd love to read the book.

Only books I am reading at the moment is the A song of ice and fire series, before that I read a Sophie Kinsella book
Going to the library is a good idea!

What kind of books are they? I don't know them. But i don't read much, so my knowledge is limited. :laugh:

Shaun 13-03-2014 11:02 AM

If I fancy something light I like crime books by David Baldacci or James Patterson... they're all kind of similar though :laugh:

I'll try those. Love crime stories, where there are investigations and mysteries. :hugesmile:

Game of thrones tv show is based on the books, they're quite long though! and Kinsella is like easy chick lit books
