To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Haven't read it before.

 

[Season]

It's an achievement if you finish it. The trend I've noticed is that people tend to get about 2/3 of the way through and then stop, even if they are enjoying it.

congrats to me Have finished it, wasn't too long 180 pages or something and nice moral ending too

Reading Desert Flower by Waris Dirie

I really need to find some light fluffy stupid book LOL

 

[Tulipa]

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Haven't read it before.

Oh that's one of my favourite books of all time.

I just finished Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis. Talk about fucking vivid. It was sensational. I think I might read it again tomorrow or something. You need to read it like four times for it all to sink in.

Okay so i'm sick of reading the same old books.
Someone tell me a random book (that they liked) to read and i'll try to find it at the library.

The Gormenghast Cycle by Mervyn Peake
First book that popped into my head.

I'm halfway through Ellis' Glamorama, and I'm thinking it's pretty addictive. I read Rules of Attraction in segments through school chapel last year. Got to read it again. Has anyone read Lunar Park, any opinions?

That would have been great!
Btw, just found out that Robert jordan, who writes Wheel of Time, of which I have read 11 books, has a terminal illness. Not going to be happy if he doesn't finish the last book! Slightly self centred i guess,

I'm wondering how big 'A Memory of Light' (WOT Book 12) is gonna be?! Jordan somehow has to manage bringing together all the subplots together before Tarmon Gaidon. He also has to finish the 2 sequels to New Spring. I just hope he lives long enough to do this.

RJ's blog

Things are looking pretty good for him at the moment. And he seems pretty determined to finish off AMoL.
Here's to hoping, anyway.
He also wants to write more on

Spoiler

Mat and Tuon

And if he doesn't, I'm sure there are plenty of us prepared to drag him back from the grave and kill him again.
