Im reading journeys end for college, but i dont seem to have got further tha the first page

I find set texts are really bad. At GCSE we had to read the most boring books ever written.

Of mice and men. The. most. boring. book. ever.

i thought that was the best one out of the ones we had to read lol! still boring but better than the rest! although i was annoyed cos some of the other classes got to watch the film and we didnt!

Perfect match is a brilliant book so far. Tricky topic but I think Jodi deals with it really well. I like how she does the perspective from all angles too.

i really liked that book too, its the one where the little boy gets sexually abused isnt it? i think she always handles the topics in her books well. i can never guess the endings though!

i agree, the books were so boring! although i know people who did like some of them

the only books we had to do was romeo and juliet, and the inspector calls for gcse which i thought were allright

we didnt have to do the mice and men one as we did the different cluster

we had to do romeo and juliet, pride and prejudice, of mice and men, hobsons choice and some poems by people who ive forgotten lol (2 of them were blake and wordsworth, cant remember the other 2). i dont like shakespeare cos i dont understand it lol but i think romeo and juliet was the best one to do cos at least i understand the storyline in that one and we got to watch the film! pride and prejudice i gave up reading, it was too long and boring so i watched the film instead (which was only slightly less boring than the book!) still managed to get an A for that bit of cw though! hobsons choice i think was the most boring play ive ever read!

I'm reading Overheard in a Dream by Torey Hayden. The best book I've read in a while.

Just an update. The book is excellent except for the parts when the mother (Laura) is in therapy. All she talks about is an imaginary person who she's been seeing since she was 7 (now in her 40s). It really is boring, reminds me of the Lord of the Rings kinda fantasy. Also included are stories that Laura wrote when she was in school (even more boring). I'm just skipping everything about Laura.

I've finished reading Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult - quite good but not her best.

I've also read Chart Throb by Ben Elton - really funny, basically taking the mickey out of xfactor

I've finished reading Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult - quite good but not her best.

i agree, it was the first book i read of hers and it was good but others ive read since have been better. im still reading "mercy", nearly finished it though

On hols I read quite a bit, the Cecelia Aherne's new one "Thanks for the memories" - really a good one, enjoyed it as much as PS I love you (didn't like any of her other ones) and Marian Keyes "This Charming Man" - a great book, couldn't put it down.
