  12. I like to think i'm a real reader, someone who is open to a variation of genres and reads anything and everything. However the other day i realised i had not read the true classic "Animal farm". I felt it was one book i had to read. I then thought of other books that you cant call yourself a reader if you have not read. For example "catcher in the rye" " to kill a mocking bird", " Curious incident of the dog in the night", " Rebecca" by daphane du Maurier, " memoirs of a Geisha", "Angelas Ashes" etc...... This is just in my opinion. What book woould you say must be read if you want to call yourself a reader?
  13. I used to hate reading as a kid. It was only when i went to college and i had no telly that i picked up a book. It was Angelas Ashes, and really enjoyed reading as an experience. For me it was an achievement having finished a book. I never had the patience to complete a book and thought it was such a boring activity. However once i started reading my vocabulary became much bigger and i could transport myself into which ever era i liked to enter into. I discovered i loved learning new things. I remember reading " I lived for a thousand years" which is about the second world war and discovering that for past 20 minutes i had been so absorbed in the book i hadnt known anything about the real world around me for all that time. In fact i was out of breath running to escape with the characters, probably because i had barely been breathing with the tension built up in the story. Sometimes to be able to escape to that extreme can be quite cool. I find if im stressed with the real world though, i cant enjoy my reading. I can have read and re read a page and am thinking of other things. I need to be in a content mood to be able to disappear into a book.
  14. Well i decided upon reading the scapegoat. i am half way through and it is brillliant. it's not in the same leaugue as the "Jamacian Inn" and "Rebecca" but it has been a real page turner. I can be a very slow reader but i can't put it down. It is not one of her well known books but i am really enjoying it. It is about an English man and a french man who meet in france and find they look identical in every way.They could be twins. They end up swopping lives and identities to experience how the other half live, this is unknown to their families.
  15. I read "Sophies world" and "Through the looking glass". I have also attempted "The ring masters daughter" but was a little bored by it. I thought "Sophies world" was amazing.
