  1. Tuesdays With Morrie. Its one of those books, the reading of which should be mandatory for living. Okay, so I'm biased, coz its a true story and the movie made it even more heart breaking to deal with the ending. But still. Its a wonderful book about life.
  2. Don't read it. It will suck you in and devour your soul, and when you finish book 4 you will want to go around to Stephanie Meyer's house and hit her in the head with it. I love the books, and I read them after seeing the trailer for the movie (I love vampires, I adore Ann Rice and Buffy and blah blah blah.) But they are horrendously written. Most of the characters are underdeveloped or just plain annoying, and book 4... my god. Book 4 just goes off the wall entirely. Its written for young adults. I'm 21, and I was reading this thinking, '14 year olds should be scared by this material.'
  3. I don't lie about what I read. I read Twilight. There, I said it. And guess what. I loved it. =P No but really. I never lie about what I'm reading, I don't see the need. I read kids books and science fiction and epic fantasy adventures and dummies guides to physics. I love everything, and have never even thought about not saying what I read. I don't really understand why anyone would =/
  4. I tend to read in the evenings, if I'm just reading for the sake of getting through some chapters. When I'm on a book I can't put down, I've been known to stay up all night, or skip class during the day just to get through the book as quickly as humanly possible. I discovered the Twilight series about 4 weeks ago, and sadly, despite the fact that I really think they're poorly written, I love them. I read all four books (1000+ pages) in 3 days. Skipped class, left an essay til the day before it was due, just ploughed through them. =D
  5. Hmm. Going by the things you like I'd recommend a light-hearted trilogy called Inkheart. The movie will be out shortly, so you may have heard of it. Its a German series of kids books about a guy who can read characters out of their books. Don't be fooled by the childish descriptions you might find, its actually quite a serious and dangerous adventure the characters embark on =P And, it has possibly my favourite children's fictional character ever - Dustfinger. He's wonderful. Hes the mysterious untrustworthy shadowy guy many books have - but you get to explore his entire life throughout the course of the books. Its a really wonderful series. ^____^
