Well in English, we have almost finished Of Mice and Men.
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 ****** 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
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.
i cant stand that
do you know what happens at the end? on one of our workbooks the backpage asked about what happened so we all knew before we'd even opened the book haha
Yeah, i read the last 2 pages already, I was like "Huh? How the hell did that happen?" Lol

Oh my god! Aaron that's aaawful!
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
