Well I expect to see you on the south bank show within the next 12 months, discussing the merits of radical feminist literature with Germaine Greer, and thetruth.

Does anyone know any good autobiographies? I think i'd like to read those. :)

Sharon Osborne's is very good, you don't have to be a big fan, it's really interesting, she's very open and honest in it, she's had a very dramatic life. The woman is definitely a survivor.

Michael McIntyre's was a good read as well.

Which people interest you? Then work backwards. Look up your favourite music artists/film stars/historical figures/sports personalities. There are loads out there, but it's all bout your interests.

Mein Kampf is not a bad place to start.

Oh, i than one sounds good. I like historical biographies. I think i would enjoy reading about anyone who was interesting. I found Edith Piaf biography from a shop. But it was in french. :laugh:

That's the French for you. Too arrogant to bother writing in English.

You should tell her that "je ne regrette rien".

I do actually love France, it's probably my fave place in Europe.

I've been to Paris. Love it! French writers are very popular in my country. We study them at school. :hugesmile:

..what kind of books do you like, Vanessa..?..

I like something with a good story. Crime thrillers are great! I love those! :amazed:

..hmmm, I don't often read crime thrillers but the Lincoln Lawyer is good, have you read that..?...

No. What's it about?

American Psycho

If you can make it through it without vomiting you will never forget it. And its well written too.

That looks like The Client, by Grisham. I think i'll like that! :D

Books I like are...
The Hunger Games trilogy - Suzanne Collins
Divergent Trilogy - Veronica Roth
Panic - Lauren Oliver

“Do you know what Ed Gein said about women?"
[...]
"'When I see a pretty girl walking down the street I think two things. One part of me wants to take her out and talk to her and be real nice and sweet and treat her right.'" I stop finish my J&B in one swallow.
"What does the other part of him think?" Hamlin asks tentatively.
"What her head would look like on a stick”

“The seals stupidly dive off rocks into swirling black water, barking mindlessly. The zookeepers feed them dead fish. A crowd gathers around the tank, mostly adults, a few accompanied by children. On the seals' tank a plaque warns: COINS CAN KILL——IF SWALLOWED, COINS CAN LODGE IN AN ANIMAL'S STOMACH AND CAUSE ULCERS, INFECTIONS AND DEATH. DO NOT THROW COINS IN THE POOL. So what do I do? Toss a handful of change into the tank when none of the zookeepers are watching. It's not the seals I hate——it's the audience's enjoyment of them that bothers me.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho


“The office Halloween party was at the Royalton last week and I went as a mass murderer, complete with a sign painted on my back that read MASS MURDERER (which was decidedly lighter than the sandwich board I had constructed earlier that day that read DRILLER KILLER), and beneath those two words I had written in blood Yep, that's me and the suit was also covered with blood, some of it fake, most of it real. In one fist I clenched a hank of Victoria Bell's hair, and pinned next to my boutonniere (a small white rose) was a finger bone I'd boiled the flesh off of. As elaborate as my costume was, Craig McDermott still managed to win first place in the competition. He came as Ivan Boesky, which I thought was unfair since a lot of people thought I'd gone as Michael Milken last year. The Patty Winters Show this morning was about Home Abortion Kits.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho

That looks like the kind of book i would love! :amazed:

*downloads American Psycho*

That looks like a great book. The movie was amazing! :worship:

Probably the best writer I have discovered recently is Iain Rob Wright. His writing style is very free flowing and exciting. I read his book ravage in 3 days, which is very unusual for me, normally takes me weeks to finish a book.
It's about a zombie apocalypse, if you like The Walking Dead you'll love it. I'm reading The Final Winter at the moment, which again is about the apocalypse where it starts snowing heavily everywhere in the world, and it focuses on groups of people in a town in England. If you like horror, you won't go far wrong giving this guys stuff a chance. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Iain-Rob-Wri...4732297&sr=8-1

Thanks, Verbal! I've never read a horror book. Sounds exciting! :amazed:

I'm gonna get the thread title tattooed on my forehead

:laugh2:

haha i just noticed

:joker:

:suspect:

Have you downloaded the Kindle app?

My Ipad is not working at the moment. Sometimes it feezes. I might need a new one. :laugh:

If you're going to get a new one consider getting the Kindle Fire HD instead. Tablet/Ereader all in one.

I might just do that. :hugesmile: This tablet is from a chinese website. Sometimes it doesn't work properly. :fist:

get a kindle fire hd. You can read books on tablets but if you get a kindle it makes you read more. I love my kindle.

Does it have intenet as well?

Yes

I love that! I'll get it for my birthday. :lovedup:
