Don’t have one in particular. Ted Hughes was great, and Sylvia Plath but their both kind of depressing. Hm,..dunno. I like the man who writes GCSE revision guides hahahaha

The last 5 books I red, where the 4 Harry Potter books (I LOVED THOSE) and VURT by Jeff Noon, but to be honest (sorry for the one who started this topic) I did not like the book to much.

I just finished reading Perfume by Patrick Suskind. I guess that the majority of you have read it, it was pretty weird, right? By the way, a friend told me that this book inspired Kurt Kobain to write the lyrics of Scentless Apprentice, i always wandered what this song was about.

That is a cool book. I think it has one of the greatest and funniest endings of any book I’ve read.

You mean Perfume buzzweasel? If you mean this, then i agree, the ending is very original. It ‘s very ironic if you think about it.

I read ‘Die Taube’ from Patrick Suskind, for my German exams two years ago, it was a weird book. The last book I read voluntarily was last summer, ‘Bezeten Stad’ (I don’t know the English title…) by Stephen King. I have to read some short stories for Spanish too, but I don’t consider them books. I will continue to read some Stephen King books in the summer holidays though, I really love his books. ‘It’ is probably the best book I’ve read in years, next to ‘All Quiet On The Western Front’. Actually, there are only about five books I like, the rest sucks. I’m not a novel fan, you know, I like thrillers better.

I’m reading Better Than Life by Doug Grant and Robert Naylor. I like them, they wrote spitting image. I don’t intend reading my English text again. English is the easiest thing to do so I’m not making any effort. And in the sixth form I’m doing all easy subjects, both englishes, classical civilization and either sociology or psychology. Haha, no work for Barbie.
