I really don't like the James Patterson books; everyone here is recommending them. If you're gonna read crime, you gotta do it old school like Agatha Cristie or I dunno, I quite like Sue Grafton novels. They're pretty gentle/tame compared to books nowadays. The recent ones have got pretty crap, though but the beginning of the series was good.
I read a ridiculous amountttt.
Sophie's world - Jostein Gardner (?) something like that. It's a book on philosophy, it's pretty good.
Anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love his stuff.
Feeling sorry for Celia - some teenage girl book but it's fucking hilarious.
i'll add some more stuff laterrr, i'm tired.

Nice one.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy. In 2 sittings I've read 250 pages. It is like crack to me.

Totally! I read it in one or two sittings. Epic book. The film follows it quite loyally too; not that films are ever as good as the book.

Why the hell do you people like Lord of the Flies? Its the biggest load of BS i ever read. We did it in school as a prescribed book, and theres even a movie on it that we watched.

Hahaha we had to watch that film after we read the book too.
