    Im reading the book i got for christmas. Peter Kay the sound of laughter. Its his autobiaography and very funny. If you like him as a comedian its a good read. Especially about growing up in Boltonand going to school with the nuns, working at Frnny Lees toilet roll factory.

    I also have a Waterstones voucher if my uncles girlfriend so im going to buy Feed the Goat, which is Shaun goaters autobiography. It looks really good, about his childhood in Bermuda, his failure at united than finally finding luck as a footballer at Man City.

    Notes On A Scandal by Zoe Heller.

    Brought it becuase I've just seen the film, but it is meant to be a brilliant book regardless. From what I've read it's a very refreshing read, simple storyline but brilliantly written. Great for those who have seen the film, or for those who appreciate an intelligantly written book with some deep emotional/physcocial complexity.

    very hard book to put down you just want to keep reading...
    Is that the one where the girl has a termination but it goes wrong and she can't have any more children?

    I'm reading One Child by Torey Hayden. It's about a six year old girl who's mother left her on a highway (set in America) when she was four and was abused. She set fire to a little boy and was "sentenced" to a psychiatric hospital. While waiting for a place she was put in a special needs class for retarded kids. Her teacher (the author) was an educational psychologist and special needs teacher and she was the only one who realised that the girl wasn't mad. It's a true life thing and it's really good. I was almost crying in places.
