can anyone reccomend any books?

i've got nothing to read at the moment and i feel deprived xD

I don't really do reading...
:/

Buuuuuut...
...erm...





...no, I really have nothing.


Read some Shakespeare!
I'm not even joking...as much as it pains me to admit it...I almost ENJOYED studying Romeo and Juliet for my GCSE english...

ahh good old billy shakespeare!
hmm i just studied romeo and juliet for GCSE, wrote a bloody long essay for it, too

Anything and everything by Freya North! Proper chick-lit, if you like that sort of thing.
I own every book she has written, and she literally makes me laugh out loud! And cry sometimes too. She is one of the most amazing authors I've come across!

I'm also into Fantasy and Adventure, so I'd recommend The Belgariad Series by David Eddings, and the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. Amazing for the imagination! (Y)

I got an A* for my Romeo and Juliet essay...
...I think I may have enjoyed it a tad too much...
hehe


I like fantasy and adventure books too...although the librarian at my school thought I was taking the piss when I asked for a book about a boy on an adventure...
Can't think why...

snap! A* too lol
skjabsygd i have to go now - my mum just came home :S



thanks for the suggestions btw!

Hehe bye then...
...I better go too before I get shouted at...
...I always miss bus in the mornings...
...eek.
:/

^.^

See you both later!

Finding Fish by Antwone Fisher

way of the peaceful warrior. Ive currently lent it out, but its totally brilliant! Also, the series called the Dark Magician, its a trilogy and really very good.

hope that helps!

Hard times by charles dickens... 'tis bloody painfully marvellous.... my fave book ever in fact.... i read trainspotting by irvine welsh once, it was far more tricky than dickens... as it is writtin in a colloquial dialect... that of the region of Leith in Scotland.... Pick up a copy and give it a go, you will see what i mean... 'tis quite hilarious.... ooh... tell you what else is good.... the howard marks book of dope stories.... big fat book about the highs and lows of drug taking, smuggling, selling, manufacturing etc... has lots of snippets from literary works... there is one excerpt that is about how television is a drug... and it's use is far more epidemic than that of say heroin or coke... and how it goes un-noticed that it has similarities to them... i.e you sit watching it in a dribbly state of transfixion, you are convinced of the existence of another reality, you are addicted beyond rationality... it's strange but true....

oh! thank you everyone! i shall keep these suggestions in mind when i go to buy new books =)

What about Great Expectations, its a cracking book, not too difficalt to read either. I worked on a musical of it this summer was the best 2 weeks of my life, so i may be slightly biased towards the book.

x x x

i am actually currently reading great expectations... 'tis indeed wonderful.... and i can only reiterate my love of the genius that is mr. charles dickens

It's a blinder, i was told it was a tough read and was preparing for the worst, when infact i brought it at WHSmiths at Kings Cross and by the time i had got to Aberdeen it was read. Passed the time nicely, along with views of the incredible Scottish East coast.

you must have eyeballs like strobe lights... but true...it's not that difficult....

No just a spartan like focus!! And i think i missed the odd page as i had to read it by Aberdeen, also there where fairly extensive delays on the GNER trains that day, so i was siting on the floor of a train for 5 hours instead of in my seat as many trains had been cancelled.

that does explain a lot....

we vaguely studied Great Expectations a couple of years ago ... I might actually try and read it then if it's any good then =)

has anyone read Jane Eyre?
If you have, DO NOT tell me what happens.
But I actually love it at the moment ... just over half way through the book.

I've not read it yet, but I saw the tv series, and loved it! I really should get my hands on a copy!

Maybe Josie will lend you hers once she has finished Jo

Ahh I would but sadly, it's not mine.
We're reading it in English - it's the school's book. I like reading ahead before they ruin it with their analysis =)

Haha, that's actually quite a good idea!
And it's all cool, thanks anyway!

I finished Jane Eyre, it's a GOOD book.
Don't dissmiss it cuz it's old =)
