I read a book by Tim Burton: http://homepage.eircom.net/%7Esebulb...yster_text.gif
it is available on the net and only takes about 30 mins to read but it is deeply profound and very sad in parts
I read thw whole of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, yesterday
And Im now readin the sequel, New Moon
I have just started lewis Hamiltons book....
I'm reading Half Blood Prince them I'm going to read Psychopath by Keith Ablow.
I'm reading Faith by Jodi Picoult, I started reading it ages ago, put it down, forgot about it and have only just started reading it again. It's quite good, but it's a bit long to get through..
I've just ordered 5 books of the internet, so I'll have plenty to read soon :p
I heard this book is fanastic but have not had a chance to read it, but i finished the Kite Runner and thought it was fanastic but very sad :)Quote:

I'm reading Alice Sebolds book about the young girl who gets muredered, its terribly sad. The Loverly bones its called.
I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee ... it's my set text for English Literature but it's quite a good book really.
I've read that and I don't think it's all it is cracked up to be. I found it very long winded in places. Maybe I should read it again.Quote:

I've just finished reading In stitches, life as an A&E doctor it was quite good, and funny in places..he does seem to moan a lot but most of it's alright :) I did like Blood Sweat and Tea better, it was much more humerous and light hearted, he tried to make the book happy as well as sad. It was actually an internet blog of this paramedic and it got made into a book. I'll try and find the link to it, it's in the book somewhere.
I'm going to read a year in the life of the man who fell asleep. I've read about 10 pages so far and it's really...really odd! :p
Edit: Found it :) http://randomreality.blogware.com/
i read this for GCSE english (mannnnnnyyyy years ago) and i really enjoyed it.....in fact my essay on it was one out of only two "A" grades I got!!Quote:

the septimus heap (so far) is very good!
I've given up on a year of the life of the man who fell asleep. It's so boring :p Never again will I trust the amazon reviews :lol: :p
I am currently reading "nobody true" by James Herbert.. it is really really interesting.. Only one more to read belong to him and then I have the complete collection
I got that for Christmas from a friend, really should read that before the film comes out!Quote:

I'm reading Skin Privilege by Karin Slaughter. I've read all but one of her books and they're excellent but I can't seem to get into this one.
The Jigsaw Man - Paul Britton
He is a clinical/forensic psychologist who has helped the police with a number of cases, although quite in depth and detailed in places and quite hard to read (The Jamie Bulger chapter for instance) but it is very interesting how the police and psychologists go about different cases.
Wouldn't recommend unless interested in psychology and stuff, isn't an 'easy' book.
Hidden By Cathy Glass..... How one boy overcame the odds. As soon as Tayo was brought into cathys home for placement, she was puzzled. The social worker had no records for Tayo no school files,family history or medical records. It was as if he didnt exist.
I'm reading "Plea of Insanity" by Jilliane Hoffman at the moment. First book I've read in ages! It's really good so far.
Quote:
"Julia Valenciano is a young, ambitious prosecutor facing a case that could launch her career. The defendant David Marquette is a successful Miami surgeon and devoted family man. The victims are Marquette's own wife and three small children. The plea is not guilty by reason of insanity. The perfect father and model husband, David Marquette seemingly just snapped. His experienced defence team claims paranoid delusions caused by schizophrenia drove him to slaughter his entire family. But the state suspects Marquette's insanity defence is being fabricated to disguise murders that were cold-blooded and calculated. Worse, Julia believes Marquette could be responsible for a string of unsolved, brutal homicides. The distraught survivor could just be one of the most prolific and elusive serial killers in the country's history. To bring him to justice, Julia must embark on a terrifying personal journey back into her own past - something she has struggled for fifteen years to forget. And this will lead her to confront a future so chilling, she's not sure she will ever be able to face it..."
To Kill a Mockingbird for English Lit lol.. and also Wild Kat, the biography of Jessie Wallace by Emily Herbert.
I have just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns - a brilliant book, anybody that can get their hands on it should, I couldn't put it down once started.
I read that a couple of years ago. I don't think its all its cracked up to be. I got pretty bored with it.Quote:

Its the first book i have read in ages.
I am re-reading Adrian mole.. I forgot how clueless he was... great book to read
Just finished reading Too Much Too Young - Kerry Katona's Biogrpahy. And to be honest, after reading this, you really do sympathise with her. I used to read what she gets up to and what not, and now you can see there is a reason behind it.
No idea what next!
finished PS I Love you, it was really good. Just stared to re read McCartheys Bar.. I love tha book, but theres so uch you can miss reading things first time round
Im currently reading "We need to talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver.Its about a high school shooting by a student and its quite hard to get into as its written in letters all the way through and starts from before he was born but once you get into it its really good you just have to keep reading
now ive finished uni, i started reading this book again a few days ago, ive read almost half of it and its good so farQuote:

My Sisters Keeper by Jodi is being made into a film! :D I hope it stays true to the book. I found PS I love you was a bit rubbish.
Imdb page for anyone, the cast list looks really good! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1078588/
I cant wait for this to come out as a film, but the ending is supposedly going to be different to what it is in the book, and originally elle and dakota fanning were meant to be playing the sisters, i think they would have been good in itQuote:
