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.

Two at the moment.

First is a novel:
Killing The Shadows by Val McDermid.

Second is...
An Introduction to Developmental Psychology by Bremner&Slater.

Enduring Love for English lit. I made the stupid mistake of looking it up on wikipedia and now know what happens at the end though although I can't fully remember, so it's alright

I agree, you're missing out on so much!

I'm also reading Catch A Falling Star by Jade Goody. Just got it today - can't wait to get stuck in it seems great!

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

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.

that book. Ain't read it forever. I tried to get my best friend to read it and she downright refused to read a book about holes

I have like *counts* 28 books I need to read,so I doubt it'll be a while before I get back around to re-reads of anything.

I cried SO much at that
I saw it at the theatre and I cried SO much too. Traumatic
Most people cried at the dog bit, but I was too upset at Lenny!

That was SO dissapointing! I think Miss Rennison is losing her touch...

Well, I always read about 4 books or something at once:

MORNING breakfast: varies. usually chicklit/easy reading. reread some of the mates, dates books the other day
EVENING tea: ditto morning breakfast, but a different book
BATH book: "May Contain Nuts" and "The Sound of No Hands Clapping" i started on monday
NIGHT book: can be anything. atm i'm combining my bath and night book :]


yeah.. I'm a reading geek. I had the reading age of 16 when I was 8
